Offshore skimmers are the first line of defense against oil spills originating from oil platforms, ocean going vessels etc. Such offshore spills are often substantial and hazardous to recover in rough seas. Hence, it is important that offshore skimmers incorporate features that allow for safe, fast, reliable and efficient oil spill recovery operation. For example, all Queensboro offshore skimmers are built to be extremely robust and yet easy to handle – they can all be lifted via a single lifting point or even lifted by the optional floating umbilical hose. Furthermore, depending on application requirements extremely high recovery capacities can be achieved on some models through proper transfer pump and power unit selection.
