The cost of standing still
The most expensive oil-spill system may be the one you already own.
Traditional recovery isn’t expensive only because of the equipment. It’s expensive because vessels cost money. Crews cost money. Fuel costs money. And every additional hour oil remains on the water increases the response burden.
Speed-Sweep attacks those costs at their source.

DESMI comparison resource-cost index: 390 to 250 (relative points, not dollars). That is up to 36% lower resource cost.
THE QUESTION ISN’T WHAT SPEED-SWEEP COSTS
It’s what your current response method costs every time you use it.
Now multiply the difference by your vessel day-rate, crew, fuel and mobilisation costs. Enter your own figures and compare operating-resource costs for the same recovery objective.
LONG-TERM VALUE
ONE INVESTMENT. A DECADE OF OPERATIONAL ADVANTAGE.
Faster recovery, single-vessel capability and lower resource requirements can create operational value across deployments.
Expected 10 year design lifetime. Standard warranty Available. Operation, cleaning, maintenance and storage to follow manufacturer guidelines.

Hope is not a response. Capability is.
When a spill occurs, your response capability determines the outcome. The right equipment in the right hands can mean the difference between a controlled incident and a costly environmental disaster.
How it works
One vessel. A wider sweep.
The boom connects at the vessel’s front starboard side. Its permeable screens and integrated in-line dynamic skimmer deploy with it. At the open end, Ro-Kite pulls outward to widen the sweep. The single vessel advances while the skimmer recovers oil.
