Research and development on recovering techniques for response of major oil spill incident in offshore (research activity of Tsukuba Institute, Ship and Ocean Foundation)

Creators

  • 1. Tsukuba Institute (Japan)

Description

With financial assistance from the Sasakawa Foundation (Chairman Mr. Ryoichi Sasakawa), Tsukuba Institute of the Ship and Ocean Foundation was established in April 1978 to evaluate oil booms and oil recovery devices. The Institute boasts two special test facilities -- a rectangular tank and a large circulating water channel -- which can perform the experiments discharging oil on the water surface. Informations on the facilities possessed by OHMSETT was of great help to us for construction of our facilities. It is a strong proof of the tank's advantages that we were entrusted with model tests for IMO comparative study on oil tanker design last year. The principal particulars of these facilities are shown in Figures 1 and 2
