Len,
Fully appreciate what you are saying, but I'm rather disappointed that you fail to recognise how well the Tanker Industry as a whole and the Oil Majors in particularly have done in their efforts, not only to prevent pollutions from vessels ove…
Hi Chris,
I have not so much gone silent as found myself involved in a major new project not associated with oil exploration and production. I've been following the progress being made in the shut down of the BP well. It is pretty clear to me that w…
Len,
You have gone very silent over the past few weeks. Thought you would have a lot to say about the last status regarding BP plugging the well?
Appears to me that they have done a good job. Not as sure about their "public affiars".
Still awaiting…
Thanks Chris. I will look.
Len,
There has been a continuous debate on the subject on the Shipsnostalgia.com thread concerning the USGulf Rig Disaster which can be accessed at http://www.shipsnostalgia.com/showthread.php?t=33896 . where a number of expert commentators have ex…
I too have wondered why BP has acted as if in a trance as this tragedy has unfolded. The first mistake after the explosion was, in my opnion, the attempt to put out the fire leading to the sinking of the rig. At least with the fire the oil and gas w…
The second test, using canvas, recovered 90%+ of the oil, with very little effort, and returned virtually clean, clear water to the tank. Please see the link for our Sea Oil Spill Recovery Net and Boom for large scale deployment, and the provisional…

Len,
Appreciate the response.
I think we all have to await the publication of the official investigaton into this disaster to hear what were the causes, before apportioning blame. The rig operator with prime responsibility for the initial tragedy…
Hi Chris, Thank you for educating me on the tanker community's response to oil spills. I'm very aware of the U.S. dependence on oil and its wasteful usage in North America. I thank you for the link. I will visit it. I'm also aware that Nigeria suffe…
Len,
Clearly you don't know very much about the tanker/oil industry.
Emergency Response and Contingency Planning for oil spills have long been (20 -30 years at least) an integral part of any tanker operators management system. These plans are test…
Oil spills have more often been associated with tanker accidents than blow outs from oil well drilling on the ocean floor. The scope of disasters caused by the latter dwarf oil spill accidents from ships. But the entire industry gets painted with th…
