Salina Bay assists in Costa Concordia oil recovery

The EMSA-contracted Stand by Oil Spill Response Vessel "Salina Bay" on Jan 21 arrived on site of the "Costa Concordia" to assist SMIT Salvage, who is in charge of the bunker removal and pollution response operations. Preparations are on-going for the removal of the bunker oil from the grounded cruise ship. The "Salina Bay" will be as a precautionary measure on stand-by during this operation over the next weeks. The vessel is equipped with several oil recovery systems, as booms, skimmer, sweeping arms and a dedicated radar slick detection system. In the worst case of pollution, she will offer directly response capabilities. Until now no bunker related pollution has occurred.
