Coast Guard Cutter Kukui crewmembers prepare to deploy the fast sweep boom, a component of the Spilled Oil Recovery System, in Honolulu Harbor Dec. 14. The skimming system, SORS, has four main steps: concentrate the oily sheen; skim the oil/water mix; pump oil skimmed from the water’s surface; and contain the skimmed oil in a tank or other form of storage so the oil can later be transferred to an appropriate recycling or disposal facility.
