Oil spill control for an oil tanker and method of using same

摘要

An oil control sock has an enlarged inlet end which is placed over the ruptured opening in the side of an oil vessel while the outer free open end is then raised to a position above the oil level in the tanker thereby allowing the oil to seek its own level. The oil sock can also be used with extensions as needed and may be used for unloading the tanker into an assisting vessel. The sock is held in place on the side of the vessel by electromagnets.
