Approved by the Ministry of Agri- culture, Fisheries and Food U.K. as a type II/III product and tested by Warren Spring Laboratory, the prod- uct has an extremely low marine toxicity, is totally biodegradable and contains no petrochemical solvents. Finally, to assist shipping com- panies to comply with OPA 90 and IMO regulations Vecom has devel- oped an oil spill kit. Included in the kit are absorbents, pressure hand sprayer, scupper pip plugs, deck mats, booms filled wit organic material, oil seals, wipes etc. For more information on Vecom' environmentally sound products, Circle 160 on Reader Service Card Maritime Reporter/Engineering News Circle 311 on Reader Service Card </div> <span id="lblContents"></span> <br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.digitalwavepublishing.com/" title="Digital Magazine">Digital Wave Publishing</a> </BODY>
