I.D. Boats Expand NRC

Gulf Response Fleet

Graham Marine, an affiliate of

Seacor subsidiary National

Response Corporation (NRC), has completed the installation of oil spill containment and recovery systems on M/V Charlie G., one of its production support vessels based out of Venice, La. The ves- sel entered service on July 1, after its crew completed required HAZ-

WOPER and equipment deploy- ment training.

A second Graham vessel is scheduled to be completed by the middle of August. The vessel will be staged near Cameron and Lake

Charles, La. NRC has designed both vessels as identified deploy- ment (I.D.) boats. Equipped with high capacity oil skimmers, 500 ft. (152.4 m) of 43-in. oil containment boom and 257-barrel recovered oil storage capacity, the Graham I.D. boats will augment NRC's six ded- icated oil spill recovery vessels (OSRV) already staged at major ports in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico. "The Graham I.D. boat program represents the commitment of

NRC, Graham and Seacor to uti- lize every opportunity to combine resources and capabilities to expand and improve NRC's ser- vices," said NRC Vice President

A1 Wood. "We continue to believe that distribution of resources and density of offshore coverage is key to protecting active oil producing and transporting areas across such a broad geographic area." "There are 188 additional ves- sels in the Seacor fleet that can support NRC's offshore response operations," said Charles

Fabrikant, chairman of both

Seacor and NRC. "Almost 100 vessels of various types were uti- lized during the Mega Borg spill offshore Galveston. This clearly demonstrates the importance of access to a large marine resource network." M/V Charlie G. is char- tered jointly to Vastar Resources,

Inc. and Marathon Oil Company, and supports production opera- tions in the West Delta area of the

U.S. Gulf off the mouth of the

Mississippi River.
