It took three years,but Japan's Port and Airport Research Institute(PARI)has succeeded in the development of a new type of onboard oil recovery system.Development of the project(including financial support)has been in cooperation with the Shikoku Regional Bureau,Ministry of Land Infrastructure and Transport(MLIT),Japan.The system employs a high-power vacuum blower for sucking liquid into a gas-liquid multi-phase form.Its applicability to an onboard oil recovery system has been experimented with.The experiments have shown that this method can respond to a wide range of viscosity of spilled oil,performing well even in wavy sea conditions.These results have been applied to an oil skimming system mounted on Ishizuchi-an oil recovery vessel owned and operated bv MLIT.
