| Description |
The
Minerals Management Service (MMS) is seeking new and innovative methods and
equipment for the cleanup of accidental oil spills in ice infested waters of
the Alaskan Arctic. The overall objective of this research contract was to
study the technology in the design and use of ice booms for recovering
spilled oil in ice infested waters. The objective is to obtain the operating
window in which an ice boom can be deployed when towing or pulling on a
broken ice field. The work will also define the likely scenarios where an
ice boom could be used effectively. |

This project is complete. A presentation on this project was
made at the International Oil and Ice Conference, April 2000, in Anchorage,
AK. Another presentation was made at the 16th International Port and Oceans
Engineering Under Arctic Conditions in Ottawa, ON. |
