## About this tender

The MCA wishes to purchase an At Sea Oil Containment System capable of operating in offshore waters. The system should be able to recover oil in sea currents in excess of 3 knots and be deployed and towed by a single vessel.

The system should have the capability to capture a significant portion of an oil slick in offshore waters and to separate the oil and water in a designated storage area.

The system should be capable of capturing and containing both high and low viscosity oils.

The Oil Recovery and Containment System will be part of the MCA's stockpile of Counter Pollution Equipment and will be used, in the event of a major marine oil spill, for the recovery of oil spilled into the seas around the UK. The System will also be used on a regular basis for training exercises.
