U.S. Coast Guard District 13 PADET Astoria

Crewmembers aboard Coast Guard Cutter Fir, a 225-foot Seagoing Buoy
Tender, heave around on a line attached to the outrigger arm component
of a Spilled Oil Recovery System in the Columbia River near Astoria,
Ore., Sept. 25, 2013.

Crews regularly train with the SORS equipment so that they can more
quickly assemble and deploy the technology in the event of a spill.
