NY LENSE 2008

Dagens oljevernutstyr har begrensninger tilknyttet bølgehøyde, strøm og det å operere i mørke. Dette kan føre til at en i praksis bare kan kontrollere oljesøl i 60-70 % av tiden. Oljevernet vi har i dag kan således sies å ha begrenset totaleffektivitet. NorLense har lagt i front internasjonalt ...
