Booms tejek! Booms. I am talking about boats/ships that scoop up the oil off the water and put it in tankers. There were only 12. I know they have a bunch coming from Hawaii that are so state of the art they can separarte the oil from the water as they pick it up. However it was weeks after the spill that they even ordered them up. Good lord, you could be a spokesman-lol. >>For the most part, according to BP PLC and the Coast Guard, skimmers use bright orange floating boom -- like what has been put out to protect sensitive coastline -- to corral oil floating on the water's surface. Boom can be attached to the backs of two boats, such as a charter fishing boat or a shrimp boat, forming a semi-circle to collect the oil. The boats must travel slowly because boom cannot withstand high speeds.
