  1. New Oil Spill Technology for the Arctic Ocean EST 70m Polar Ice-class 5 Ocean Oil Skimmer Ship

  2. Preventing catastrophic damage • The key to preventing catastrophic damage and liability in a marine environment is a very fast and effective cleanup response in rough seas and dynamic ice. • Extreme Spill Technology (EST), a Canadian company, has developed this ability and now manufactures a line of ocean-going skimmer vessels. Our 12m coastal skimmer is currently under construction for the Canadian Coast Guard.

  3. A word about EST • In 2011 EST won the Ocean Environmental Protection Award presented in London at the Sustainable Shipping Awards ceremony. • EST was chosen in the first round under the Canadian Innovation Commercialization Program. • EST is a shareholder in a Canadian-run, HK boatbuilding company that manufactures vessels to ABS standards. These vessels contain the EST system. • The EST technology is manufactured 100% in Canada.

  4. The ocean-going FAST 25.0m

  5. Details on the FAST 25.0m • This high-speed (30+ kts), Canadian design can recover oil in very high seas. It incorporates the proprietary EST oil recovery system. • The FAST 25.0m is an excellent patrol , standby, rescue, firefighting and oil spill vessel. The 15,000 litres per minute oil transfer pumping system can also pump water with no conversion needed (firefighting) • Capable of crossing any ocean in any season it only needs 1.5 m of water, which allows use in deltas etc.

  6. The oil rig supply vessel or escort tug with EST oil recovery barges

  7. The EST oil spill system

  8. How it works • A vacuum pump on top fills the sealed, oil-trapping tower with water, like a straw sucking up a drink. • The vessel then drives over the oil slick and the floating oil slides under the vessel’s flat bottom . • When the submerged oil reaches the underwater opening of the oil tower it floats upwardly to the top of the tower. • When enough oil accumulates in the upper region of the sealed tower, sensors activate an oil transfer pump.

  9. No moving parts, no close tolerances and built like a tank

  10. Similar to the Lamor JBF-DIP

  11. But much improved…………….. • The JBF needs a conveyor belt and bow V-sweeps. • These devices limit the working speed and are easily disrupted by wave impact, ice and oil entrainment. • With close tolerances and delicate features, they are prone to breakdown. Maintenance is high. • EST has no need of conveyor belts, bow V-sweeps, rotating brushes, discs and drums etc. EST’s system is rugged and simple!

  12. Tank-testing EST’s prototype HITT skimmer for BP in Alabama in 2010

  13. Tank-testing an EST model with bunker C for Altinex ASA in 2006

  14. And for the Arctic…………………….

  15. You need EST’s Polar Ice-class 5 oil skimmer ship, not light equipment

  16. The EST Arctic oil skimmer ship • 70m x 23m with a 5m draft • This vessel can skim for oil at 4 kts • It stores 2900 cubic metres of recovered oil • It’s a multifunctional ship • It can steam at 2 kts in level, first-year ice • It can stay on-station cleaning oil for 30 days • It has accommodations for 12 extra persons

  17. Success requires new thinking

  18. EST _ built for Canadian seas
