Oil Spill Response Boats

Quick Containment is the Key

Over the last couple of decades the oil industry has done a great job in limiting spills. The spills that do happen are attacked aggressively with the best equipment available. Hundreds of Munson landing craft are working in the oil spill response business all over the world. Our landing craft design lends itself perfectly to the many tasks that an oil spill presents. Transport and deploy boom and recovery systems and work the beach professionally and quickly. If you are in the oil spill response industry, you have probably heard of us. We would definitely like to hear from you.
