Oil Spill Response Equipment
Preparing for Major Oil Spills
PAJ lends large, high-performance equipment in container units

For mechanical recovery of spilt oil in oceans and for effective protection of shorelines, PAJ has mainly installed oil containment boom, oil skimmers and tentative storage tanks in stockpile bases.

Also, based on the lessons learnt from the past major oil spill incidents, such as the case in Alaska or in the Arabian Gulf, large and high-performance equipment, which is rare in Japan, has been selected for the bases. Each piece of the equipment, together with its accessories, is stored in a dedicated containers to facilitate prompt lending and transportation in an emergency. In principle, PAJ will lend the equipment by the container.

*Please note that in the following equipment description, some of the same equipment might present different size and weight for year purchased or the change of container for better storage.
