Container-ship accident dumps 53,000 gallons of fuel oil in San Francisco Bay
November 12, 2007
An accident like the
collision of the Cosco Busan with the Bay Bridge can cause serious environmental damage, especially if oil or other chemicals spill and spread over a wide area. A variety of
floating geomembrane containment systems can be used to reduce the impact of such spills by containing them into a limited area from which they can be removed before reaching shore.
