OPA ’90 Spill Kits

OPA ‘90 Emergency Spill kits handle on-deck oil spills as required by OPA ‘90 (33CFR Part 155). OPA requires oil carrying vessels operating in the U.S. territory waters to have oil discharge removal equipment on board for on-deck oil spills. Vessels with an overall length of 400 feet or less must be able to contain and remove on-deck spills of at least 7 barrels (294 gallons). Vessels over 400 feet have an increased requirement of 12 barrels (504 gallons).

OPA ‘90 specifies the following equipment:

Sorbents, Non-Sparking Hand Scoops and Shovels, Buckets, Container Suitable for Holding Recovered Waste, Emulsifiers for deck cleaning, protective clothing, Non-Sparking pumps and hoses.

 Breg kits are in total compliance with the U.S. Department of Transportation (U.S. Coast Guard) 33 CFR Part 155-Discharge Removal Equipment for vessels carrying oil.

 Kits meet the oil spill plan requirements for vessels operating in the state of California waters (CA Senate Bill 1644).
