Rocknes Oil Spill Bergen. Heavy Duty Oil Cleanup with Magnum 200 Drum Skimmer

Elastec/ITAS skimmers used in Tananger.
90 tons oil spill consist of diesel oil mixed with water recovered at Shells Terminal in Tananger, Norway in January 2007.
A joint group of Shells special international team from UK worked together with local oil-spill operators using
Elastec/ITAS skimmers showed great prefornance and the cleanup were successful.

Cleanup work has been in progress since the leak got discovered.

Oil lenses were put out to prevent that the oil won’t drift away to other areas.
