The Canadian Coast Guard mobilized Accuworx last week to assume command on a major fuel spill into the waters of Lake Ontario. The contaminent discharged was Supreme gasoline from a failed transfer coupling. Due to the explosive nature and vast area, Accuworx deployed their Marine Team and Environmental Spills Management Team. Shore line protection was ensured through the rapid mobilization of 3000 feet of open water boom. Accuworxs’ Intrinsically safe Vacuum Trucks were stationed at several points for collection of fuel though specially designed skimming devices used during the Deep water Horizon Event in the Gulf of Mexico. All collected fuels were brought to Accuworxs’ recycling facility and returned to the transportor for reuse.
