Description
The Ship Oil Pollution Emergency Plan (SOPEP) mandates that any ship with a gross tonnage of 400 tonnes or over, or an oil tanker with a gross tonnage of 150 tonnes or over, must have an onboard oil prevention plan in accordance with the guidelines of the International Maritime Agency. The primary aim is to prevent or minimize oil outflow in the event of damage to the ship or operational spills.
The Professional Standard SOPEP Spill Kit is designed specifically for standard-sized oil tankers. With a significant absorbent capacity of 600 litres, it meets the standards set by the Marpol Convention.
This spill kit is suitable for use on cargo vessels and oil tankers, featuring oil-only absorbents for the effective recovery of up to 600 litres of oil. The kit is conveniently stored within a robust 500-litre storage box.
