MOBILIZATION OF FIRE BOOM SYSTEMS FOR MC252
BLOWOUT IN MEXICAN GULF
THESE BOOMS WERE LOCATED AT VARIOUS BASES THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY AND ALL SYSTEMS
WERE FIRSTLY TRANSPORTED TO SÃO PAULO :
02 Fire Boom systems CDA/SUL
01 Fire Boom system CDA/RJ
02 Fire Boom systems CDA/SP
01 Fire Boom system CDA/ES
01 Neat Sweep dispersant system CDA/SP
DISPACHTING THE EQUIPMENT
04/05 –All the booms were transported to CDA-SP where all
the documentation was finalized prior to them heading onto
Viracopos airport which is now the main air cargo airport
located some 112km from São Paulo
05/05 - All paperwork was cleared by the Brazilian customs
where the equipment was then loaded a Boieng 747 cargo
aircraft bound for Miami-US,ETA on arrival in Miami 0600
hrs 06/05
LOGISTICS
Due to the dimensions of the boom reels it was only possible to transport on
certain types of aircraft,Our logistics department had previously dimensioned
all of our equipment prior to this incident and also the availability of flights
everyday to various other countries within the Americas,all of this research
work aided in a rapid response

SEAFENCE®
CONTAINMENT BOOM:
27000 METRES
On the 7th of May an additional request
was made for 27000 metres of Seafence ® 9
& 15” Containment Boom
These Booms had to be taken from different
areas around the country:
Goiânia = 4130m,Uberaba = 5750m,São
Paulo = 1410m,Sul = 2000m,Manaus =
1975m,Diadema = 8000m
SEAFENCE®
In total 7 cargo aircraft were chartered DC
10’s and 747 to transport all the materials
to the US.

Safety
•Constant air monitoring at all times carried out under the observation
of the US Coastguard
•Safety briefings prior to operations
•Tow vessels to remain upwind of fire at all times and emergency plan
inplace to abandon the burn if wind direction changes.Tow ropes of
100m to maintain a safe distance
•All burns to be previously authorized by the ICC in Houma
•All burns televised back to control room in Houma
•Ignitor boat crews all with the correct PPE’s including fireproof
clothing
•Oil samples taken before and after each burn
•Recording of every burn, time, dimmensions D x H
•5nm safety zone from other vessels or platforms
Pro’s and Con’s regarding “IN SITU” Burning
•Pro’s
•Removal of very large quantities of oil very quickly with minimal
manpower or equipment.
•Very little logistics requirements in comparison to the use of other
response techniques ie dispersant or skimming
•Burning can significantly reduce the extent of shoreline impact
•Con’s
•Generates large quantities of highly visible black smoke which could
affect human population downwind.
•Burn residues have tendency to sink < 5%
•Can only be carried out in relatively calm conditions
•Emusified oils very difficult to burn so rather like dispersant use In
situ Burning is best carried out in the window of opportunity
“PREPARATION” THE SECRET TO A VERY
SUCCESFUL AND EFFICIENT OPERATION
MANY THANKS FOR YOUR ATTENTION
