Floating Oil Storage Barge (FROST & FR50)
The floating recovered oil storage tank is a towable floating oil/water storage tank with a hull shaped storage pocket. The tank/ barge is manufactured from neoprene coated fabric, which is strong, durable and lightweight. The superstructure is composed of compartments with internal airtight conical bulkheads for increased integrity. The tank is boat shaped with raised bow and stern which increases stability when under tow. High stress seems can be vulcanised for increased strength and service life. Our FROST has a host of features not found on similar products designed for ease of use. This includes fold lines and dedicated storage to speed up packing and avoid damage, tank full indicator, drainage tube for cleaning and straps underneath enabling the tank to be lifted at lower heights.
