    This document discusses Vikoma's Vikoseal boom, which provides an improved method for containing oil spills during ship-to-ship operations. The Vikoseal boom inflates to form a seal between two vessels, compensating for changes in fender position through an auto-leveling function. It allows for rapid deployment in emergencies and can be permanently installed. The boom addresses issues with conventional containment methods such as requiring additional vessels, being compromised by environmental factors, and having operators work in dangerous areas between ships.

    OVERVIEW

    Quality equipment for every scenario Vikoma offers quality equipment for each stage of an oil spill
    operation, including booms, skimmers, tanks, powerpacks and
    Containment pumps.
    Recovery
    Vikoma can also offer a range of oil spill response vessels,
    Storage dispersant spray systems and a range of ancillary equipment,
    making the job quicker, easier and more effective.

    CONVENTIONAL METHOD ONE

    Problems with this Method


    • Additional Vessel Required
    • Large amount of Boom (this example over 250m)
    • Fast Deployment Boom (such as rigid fence) is compromised by wind & swell.

    Oil recovery solutions since 1967


    CONVENTIONAL METHOD TWO

    Problems with this Method

    • Hull paint reduces Magnet strength.


    • Attaching Magnets at the correct height is difficult.
    • Detaching Magnetic Connectors can damage Hull Painting.
    • Alterations in vessel heights can lift or submerge the fixed boom.
    • REQUIRES OPERATORS TO WORK BETWEEN THE VESSELS WHICH IS A
    POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT.

    CONVENTIONAL METHOD TWO CONT…

    Start of Transfer Mid/ End Transfer

    Problems with this Method


    • When the freeboard heights change the fixed boom can be compromised.
    • The boom is affected by multi-directional forces (Horizontal and Vertical).
    • The impact of multi-directional forces creates stresses and material failure.

    VIKOSEAL BOOM

    • Inflated using Vessel High Pressure Air Supply


    • Built in Auto-levelling function.
    • Creates a seal whilst compensating for Fender Squeeze or Fender Drift.
    • Detachable Skirts and Hammerhead wear plates.
    • Includes over inflation safety features.
    • Can be used as emergency response or in-situ for standby containment.

    INFLATION METHOD

    • The boom rapidly and evenly inflates forming a seal between the two vessels.
    • The boom is designed to expand to a greater distance than the specific fender to
    accommodate Fender Drift.
    • To allow for Fender Squeeze the boom automatically forms a parallelogram to
    maintain integrity.

    Oil recovery solutions since 1967


    INFLATION METHOD TWO

    • By partially deflating the central chamber the tension between each end of
    the Vikoseal boom and the vessels is reduced allowing the boom to auto-
    adjust in under 10 seconds.
    • This operation is quickly and easily carried out from on-board the vessel
    without requiring any water level assistance.
