Disposal of PAJ's Oil Spill Equipment

 

July 2012

 

Petroleum Association of Japan (PAJ) has stored oil spill response equipment in several domestic and abroad bases, and has replaced equipment that was purchased more than 10 years ago.

 

PAJ again invites bids for the Power Vacs (1 container in Saudi Arabia base and 1 container in Abu Dhabi base), which were put up to auction in 2011. Although we didn’t have any bidder for them at that time, both of the Power Vacs are expected to be serviceable.

 

The Power Vacs have been stored inside well-built containers in warehouses, and that’s why they should be in good condition though they have not been checked since April 2011.

 

Vikoma, which is the manufacturer of the Power Vac, no longer produces it and it is difficult to be supplied genuine repair parts by Vikoma. The above-mentioned Power Vacs can be used for relatively small-scale oil spill response and training.
