The Operational Capabilities of the Proposed Air Deliverable Anti-Pollution Transfer System (ADAPTS). Volume 1. Study Method and Recommendations

Abstract

To prevent oil from being spilled from a stranded (or otherwise distressed) tanker during the short time available between the beginning of the distress and the release of the oil cargo into the sea, a system of aircraft deliverable equipment and people is being developed by the U.S. Coast Guard. The system is named the Air Deliverable Anti-Pollution Transfer System and the acronym used in ADAPTS. The effectiveness of the system is measured by the amount of oil it can transfer from the tanker in 24 hours.
