8 SHORELINEs - Harbours - fjords PREPAREDNESS FOR ACUTE POLLUTION INCIDENTS Preparedness against acute pollution is about taking responsibility for the types of scenarios that may occur, both on land and at sea. An industrial corporation that engages in the type of activities that may cause pollution, in the form of oil/chemical spills to the outside environment, must ensure that it has effective equipment and trained personnel to manage the situation when it occurs. The same applies for shipyards, offshore bases, oil- and shipping companies. Last but not least, the government has a tremendous responsibility to protect our shorelines, harbours, and fjords. ECOSORB ABSORBENTS BOOMS The ECOSORB Absorbent booms with skirts have the same performance and provide the same protection as conventional oil containment booms. They absorb oil and not water. Low weight and unique design make quick deployment possible. 250 meters of absorbent booms can be deployed in less than 5 minutes. The booms can be linked up to any length, using the quick connectors made of carbine hooks and Velcro. The excellent absorption capacity and ease of handing make the booms an effective and economic tool for the control and recovery of small to medium size oil spills. The booms are manufactured from polypropylene fabric and net, and are available in hydrophobic cotton fiber or melt-blown polypropylene ab sorbent fibers. The booms are supplied in a robust big-bag, making storage, transport and handling easy. In the last 15 years, the ECOSORB Absorbent boom with skirt has proven its unique quality and performance, and has become the preferred absorbent boom in the Norwegian market. NOFI EP SERIES: 250MM 500MM DIA. FREEBOARD NOFI Solid flotation booms (the EP-Series) are designed for use in shorelines, harbours and fjords. Thousands of meters of EP series booms have been sold worldwide for the past 25 years. The combination of a bottom-tensioned boom and flexible segmented freeboard elements gives the NOFI EP-series excellent wave-following characteristics. The flexible Dynamic Response Connectors prevent oil from leaking through. And we may provide connectors and adaptors between the NOFI EP-series and other types of solid flotation booms. NORMAR M3/HR MULTI SKIMMER The NorMar Multi-Purpose Skimmer is a light and portable oil skimmer, designed to recover oil from shorelines, harbours and fjords. The NorMar 15m3/hr uses the well-proven NOREN brush and disc system which combines high oil recovery capacity with a low free water pick-up rate for light to heavy oils. Preferably, the unit should be connected to an efficient diesel power pack with an integrated suction pump on wheel. Optionally, the power pack can be operated by electricity. PROTECTION OF PERMANENT INSTALLATIONS We also provide oil booms for everyday deployment and recovery, as well as permanent installations, for example during rig- and docking services.

10 Coastal OPTIMAL PERFORMANCE IN DEMANDING COASTAL WATERS AllMaritim offers a wide range of oil recovery systems and oil containment booms for operation in coastal zones. With focus on high quality, ease of operation and little to no maintenance requirements, the systems have proven themselves in a high number of oil spills. The systems are delivered worldwide and consist primarily of NorMar Oil Recovery systems and NOFI Oil Containment booms. NORMAR SKIMMER SYSTEM M3/HR NorMar Skimmer System is designed with focus on quality and cost efficiency. The systems are hydraulic operated to increase durability and keep the lifespan maintenance cost to a minimum. We design the skimmer systems according to the customers specifications and capacity requirements. The ranges of medium size skimmer systems are designed to handle different types of oil. With continuous focus on ease of operation the skimmers are operated from a control valve/panel or a radio remote control with a crane arm is included. NOFI OIL CONTAINMENT BOOMS NOFI Oil Containment Booms are advanced manual or single-point automatic inflation booms. Designed with focus on operational efficiency the inflatable booms has a great competitive advantage in the market. NOFI Oil Containment Booms are available in coastal zones ranging from solid floatation, manual inflatable, to automatic inflatable booms. The inflatable booms have freeboards ranging from 450 mm mm dia. Lengths of booms are delivered according to the area of operation and customer regulations. Booms are stored on boom reels or in container systems to comply with the customers oil spill contingency. NOFI Oil Containment Booms have sealed freeboard in order to lower maintenance costs and lifespan cost, because no oil penetrates into the boom and only exterior cleaning is needed.

11 NOFI BoomBag NOFI BOOMBAG NOFI BoomBag is designed for fast response and with minimal requirements for boats and personnel. The response time for the first line response often determines whether the oil spill remains a minor incident, or if it develops into a major oil spill cleanup. The NOFI BoomBag is designed to be towed to the spill site of pollution at knots. Deployment of 300 m of NOFI EP solid floatation booms takes an impressive 45 seconds only! The NOFI BoomBag is stored ready-to-go on dock sides or on transport trailers to access remote areas. Hundreds of NOFI BoomBags are in service worldwide with an excellent track record and they are probably the fastest deployed systems in the world. NOFI CURRENT BUSTER 2 & 4 NOFI Current Buster 2 & 4 are important contributions within oil spill contingency systems in shallow waters such as rivers, harbours and near coastal areas, particularly in tidal currents. Excellent maneuverability and compact design makes the NOFI Current Buster 2 & 4 ideal for oil collection in harbours and fjords. In addition to the capability to operate in shallow waters, the NOFI Current Buster 2 & 4 can operate in water currents of up to 4 knots. As a single-vessel sweep system, these booms can be towed by one vessel when supported by a BoomVane, in which reduces operational costs and increases efficiency significantly. This is probably the most cost-efficient and user-friendly system available in the market. NOFI Oil Barge NOFI Oil Barge is an inflatable oil storage tank with capacities of 25, 50 or 75m3. With an open top design, a high variety of discharge systems can be used for efficient discharging of the barge. Designed with high quality fabric, the tank is towed at 15 knots empty and reduced to 5 knots when loaded. 11

12 Nofi current Buster Technology ONE OF THE WORLD S MOST EFFICIENT AND ADVANCED OIL CONTAINMENT AND RECOVERY SYSTEMS The NOFI Current Buster technology is one of the world s most efficient and advanced oil containment and recovery systems, capable of containing and controlling oil in up to 5 knots towing speed without losing any of the contained oil. INNOVATION, DEVELOPMENT AND TESTING The NOFI Current Buster Technology represents a revolution in oil spill containment systems, and holds an international patent. It has the unique ability to collect and concentrate spilled oil in current exposed waters or when being towed at high speed. The system is also designed to separate contained oil from water, and to retain the oil inside the separator. The process results in a thicker layer of oil which in turn offers great advantages when pumping the collected oil on board vessels or into storage tanks. NOFI began developing this technology in 1995 based on lessons learnt from a shore based wave power installation! Later in the nineties the NOFI Current Buster prototype was thoroughly tested in full scale with oil and in waves at the OHMSETT test tank, NJ, US. SINGLE-VESSEL SWEEP SYSTEM NOFI Current Buster was originally designed to be towed by two vessels. However, combined with the patented BoomVane system it eliminates the need for a second vessel, and has proven to be more cost-efficient and productive operated as a Single-Vessel Sweep System. In the light of keeping everything simple and safe, components and accessories can be stored into containerized systems. These systems are available in 10 and 20 containers, depending on the size of the NOFI Current Buster. AllMaritim offers an all-in-one solution including the NorMar Boom Reel, diesel hydraulic power pack, BoomVane system and spare parts.. PERFORMANCE The NOFI Current Buster has demonstrated in real life conditions that it is capable of sweeping, containing and separating oil from seawater at towing speeds up to 5 knots. It is presently available in four different sizes (see page 11). As many as 48 systems were in operation during the Deepwater Horizon blowout in the Gulf of Mexico in On one occasion, physical measurements showed that the oil in the separator measured as much as 1m.

15 Nofi current Buster Technology RISK REDUCTION FROM CONVENTIONAL OIL BOOMS AN ILLUSION, DUE TO SPEED THROUGH WATER CHALLENGES? In contrast to what one may believe, most of the oil lost from a conventional oil boom disappears under the skirt, and not over it, when the Speed Through Water (STW) becomes excessive. Unfortunately, the speed limit is low. There are three types of losses that occur under the skirt: Firstly, there is oil entrainment from the front wave at a speed of 0,3-0,7 knots STW. Secondly, drainage failure occurs due to hydrodynamic suction at a speed of 0,5-0,9 knots STW. Thirdly, the less known critical accumulation, applicable to oils with viscosity between cst, causes the entire oil slick to go under the skirt at 0,3-0,4 knots STW. All three oil loss types may be applicable simultaneously. It is fair to say that even the weakest currents may cause malfunction of conventional oil booms. When the operational limit is thus well below 1 knot STW, all seas are full of unpredictable and, for the oil boom, potential oil loss-inducing currents. The familiar coastal and the constantly changing tidal currents often reach much more than 1 knot. The less recognized, but almost always present, wind-generated surface currents cause in this context strong surface currents even in weak wind. Waves - and especially breaking waves - generate strong and complex orbital, front and horizontal currents. In addition there are many other current-related challenges such as propeller wash, horizontal moving fresh water surface layers, local small vortexes, larger area vortexes, rip currents etc. Finally, in addition to sea currents, STW caused by vessel towing adds to these. Consequently, in the field, responders towing oil booms are faced with three major challenges: Firstly, they do not now at what speed the oil passes under the oil boom except for that it is around 0,3 0,9 knots. Secondly, they seldom know the STW they actually operate at, as GPS does not indicate the correct STW and current conditions change continuously. Thirdly, they do not know exactly when they lose oil since lost oil will resurface far behind the oil boom. To add to this, it is almost impossible to maneuver a vessel at such a low speed. In case of fixed/moored oil booms, they may initially be successfully installed from an STW point of view, but changes in tidal current and or wind direction may cause it to rapidly malfunction. Thus, many of our best oil spill responders are equipped with a primary cleanup tool - the conventional oil boom - that is difficult to get to function as intended when towed or moored in areas with current, wind or waves. This is relevant to many operational scenarios. It is hard to reach any other conclusion that some of the risk-reducing effect, which is planned for in risk analysis and spill contingency plans by conventional oil booms, may in many cases be an illusion due to STW challenges. Since 1994, NOFI has applied large resources in solving STW challenges. Verification and improvements of the active oil boom NOFI Current Buster have been ongoing since the first prototype was manufactured in The system is capable of effectively collecting oil at up to 5 knots STW, which with an operational buffer included is 10+ times faster than conventional oil booms. Our opinion is that for the majority of oil spill cleanup operations, this technology which handles most STW issues, will significantly improve the likelihood of a successful spill cleanup according to plan.

16 offshore NOFI BOOMS AND NORMAR SKIMMERS FOR OPERATIONS IN HIGH SEAS AllMaritim offers a range of offshore systems which are designed for operation in harsh offshore environment. With focus on performance and little to no maintenance requirements, the systems have proven themselves over the years. NORMAR OFFSHORE HIGH CAPACITY SKIMMER SYSTEM NorMar Offshore High Capacity Skimmer System holds a recovery capacity at m3/hr and is designed with focus on quality and cost-efficiency. Depending on customers specifications, these systems have integrated umbilicals which come in different sizes 4, 5 and 6 dia. and lengths to match the recovery requirements. The systems are 100% hydraulic operated to increase durability and to keep the lifespan maintenance cost to a minimum. The wide range of oil viscosities require a skimmer construction that is capable of pumping these oils. The NorMar Skimmer System has a built-in cassette with discs or brushes added to the weir base. This means that the need for multiple skimmer heads is eliminated. With continuous focus on ease of operation, an integrated crane handles the multi-purpose hose operated by either a manual control panel or a radio remote control. NOFI Spill Raider Boom is built with an advanced single point automatic inflation system. Designed with focus on operational efficiency i.e. deployment speed, inflation method, less manpower needed and wave following characteristics, the NOFI Spill Raider Boom has a competitive advantage in the market. Operated by one person, a 400 m long/1200 mm boom is deployed in less than 20 minutes without pre-pressuring. Built with a sealed freeboard, the system can be transferred from one vessel to another. The sealed freeboard significantly lowers maintenance- and lifespan costs of the oil boom as no oil penetrates into the boom and only exterior cleaning is needed. The NOFI Spill Rider System performs to the best standards in the market and meets all international requirements. Offshore High Speed Oil Recovery system To combat an oil spill, several tools are needed. NOFI Current Buster 6 and 8 represent AllMaritim s high speed, single-vessel sweep system which is designed to operate in up to 5 knots towing speed. It is supplemented by a BoomVane, thus replacing one tow vessel. This system reduces operational costs and increases efficiency significantly. Incorporating the new NorMar Discharge system with the NOFI Current Buster offers a complete autonomous operation from one offshore vessel. It is now the most cost-efficient and user-friendly system available on the market. allmaritim has supplemented their offshore NorMar skimmer and NOFI boom systems by products from international prominent suppliers such as: MIROS OSD Oil Spill Detection system including IR camera and Radar Detection system allowing for oil recovery operations 24/7.
