At sea Response Resources: SPAIN<br />

RESOURCES<br />

1.1 Emergency towing vessels/<strong>Oil</strong> pollution vessels<br />

Spanish authorities have a fleet <strong>of</strong> 14 tugs, under contract<br />

with private companies, for emergency towing (ETVs), SAR<br />

(Search and Rescue) and <strong>Oil</strong> Spill Response purposes. They<br />

all have a self operating crane to load and unload antipollution<br />

equipment, and they have their own respective<br />

booms and skimmers ready to load. The latest two units<br />

added to the fleet are equipped with sweeping arms.<br />

PUNTA MAYOR, LUZ DE MAR, and MIGUEL DE CERVAN-<br />

TES are the units having dedicated storage tanks for recovered<br />

products with heating coils. The rest <strong>of</strong> the fleet<br />

has open decks that make them suitable for deploying<br />

booms in recovery operations, but their storage capacity<br />

is limited.<br />

45 fast response vessels <strong>of</strong> a smaller size (15 and 20 m) are<br />

positioned along the coastline for SAR activities. They are<br />

currently used as auxiliary units to tender booms and help<br />

the tugs in response operations. A list <strong>of</strong> the tug boats is<br />

provided below. Geographical distribution <strong>of</strong> these vessels is<br />

variable depending on season and needs. The total number<br />

<strong>of</strong> skimmers is 60 units.There are also 59 portable tanks <strong>of</strong><br />

10 m 3 capacity each and 16 portable tanks <strong>of</strong> 7,5 m 3 each.<br />
