EQUIPMENT
Clean Seas owns a large amount of oil spill containment and recovery equipment.
In addition, it has a substantial amount of equipment available
under contract in the event of a major oil spill event that requires
a greater capacity. Pictured is one of our Oil Spill Response Vessels
MR CLEAN III. For further information regarding our equipment, contact
