The company has or- dered a Marco Offshore 36, formerly known as the Class V oil recovery vessel (ORV). The Offshore 36 will also use Marco's Filterbelt system and is to be stationed in the Red Sea/ Suez Canal area. There are cur- rently 28 Offshore 36 ORVs in ser- vice today. The versatile Offshore 36 is de- signed to operate as a self-contained autonomous unit in free skimming mode, or as part of a team of three vessels in enhanced or V-boom skim- ming mode. It can also be config- ured as a vessel of opportunity skim- ming system (VOSS) unit, towed alongside a mother vessel using an outrigger. The vessel has a 12-foot beam and a draft of 3.2 feet. It car- ries a normal operating crew of two and has a top slamming speed of two knots. Propulsion of the Offshore 36 is provided by a "Z" drive located in the forward part of the vessel, allow- ing the vessel to spin on its own axis "Although Marco's Offshore 36 has proven itself over and over in a wide variety of spill conditions around the world, this is our first ORV in the Red Sea," said D. W. Lerch, vice president of Marco's Pollution Control Division. "We're glad for the opportunity to demon- strate the Offshore 36's effective- ness in this sensitive and heavily traveled part of the world."
