Florida Gulf Response
Vessels of Opportunity
Vessels of Opportunity Program
A key component of BP's response to the Gulf oil spill is the use of commercial and charter fishing vessels from Florida participating in BP's "Vessel of Opportunity" program.
Florida Vessels of Opportunity participants have been used in a variety of oil recovery activities, including towing and deploying "booms," skimming operations, supporting contained burn operations, finding and recovering tar balls and transporting general supplies and personnel.
More information about Vessels of Opportunity is available on BP's website.
