The big clean-up: oil spill response and monitoring

摘要

The past year has seen several noteworthy developments around oil spill response technology, many of which originate from the Nordic countries. In October 2018, Norwegian technology company Miros announced a contract to supply Brazilian major Petrobras with eight Oil Spill Detection (OSD) systems. The contract came about following the February 2018 agreement between Petrobras and Brazil's federal environmental agency Ibama, in which the oil major committed to new government standards for controlling oil discharge in water.
