The speed of the first response very often determines whether the oil spill remains a minor incident, or whether it develops into a more costly spill.
The NOFI Boom Bag is specially designed for fast response with minimal requirements for boats and personnel. The boom is packed in a zigzag pattern inside the NOFI Boom Bag. It is a standard NOFI EP series solid flotation boom, renowned in the market for reliability, ease of handling and ability to contain the oil. The NOFI Boom Bag may be stored on the quayside for immediate deployment or stored in a warehouse for forklift transport to the quay.
In both cases the time required to mobilize the boom for towing is extremely short. Mobilization and towing out requires two people, and virtually any available boat can be used.
After the NOFI Boom Bag has been pulled into the sea, the bag adds marginal resistance to the tow.
The speed may be increased to 15 knots and a considerable distance can be covered within short time. The boom is deployed from the bag by simply dropping a sea anchor (drogue) connected to a release line that frees the boom at the end of the bag.
