Equipment group for pumping out oil, fuel and liquids in ships in distress

摘要

In the case of ships in trouble, every salvage crew must first reach the ship, whether from a salvage vessel or from the shore. The attempt often fails because of the weather. In a heavy storm, the attempt to pump out oil, fuel or other liquids still present is not made at all. Oil, fuel and other liquids can be salvaged by the equipment group even in bad weather, storms and hurricane-force gusts. This can also be done from the shore or if the ship's tanks are below the water surface without having to go aboard the ship in trouble. If a ship (1) gets into distress, the duty of the crew is to cast the hose drum (4) overboard from the device (2) by means of a hydraulic system (12). The salvage vessel (8) called in can then quickly attach its suction hoses (5), carried by air cushions (6), to the hose drum (4) and the pumping-out can begin. Can be used in all ships even in inland waterways. <IMAGE>
