Vessel is coming together

The deck has been constructed and the two pontoons attached.

We are also currently working on the design of the hydraulic system which will serve to power the oil separator device and run the pumps used to remove the oil from the vessel's oil storage compartments.

Ralph Hogg has joined our fabrication team. He is a BC Certified Millwright and a CWB 4-Position Welder.

The pontoons which also will serve as oil storage compartments with baffles are nearing completion.

Blueprints for the vessel have been submitted to Transport Canada. We are waiting for final approval.
