OSRL tests and validates remote sensing equipment

摘要

OIL SPILL RESPONSE Ltd. (OSRL), the international industry-funded cooperative which responds to oil spills anywhere in the world, recently conducted an offshore exercise designed to understand how remote sensing technologies can help detect oil spills at sea more effectively. Utilising the latest in satellite, airborne and in-water surveillance and communications equipment, the highly successful event demonstrated the value of the state-of-the-art technology in identifying and monitoring spills and was conducted with full approval of the Marine Management Organisation (MMO) following a rigorous planning and stakeholder consultation process.
