Oil Skimmer for Commencement Bay
Belt in Middle Scoops Up Oil and Debris
Commencement Bay received an oil skimmer rig to fight oil spills. The skimmer can hold up to 880 gallons of oil and uses the belt in the middle of the rig to pick up oil and debris. The skimmer can hold the oil for about 98 percent of the oil spills that occur in Puget Sound, and it is run by the Marine Oil Pickup Service (MOPS) of Seattle.
