I took particular pride in my visit to a skimming and lightering operation involving the Coast Guard cutter Cypress and Towing vessel Dirk Danos on June 26th. Every crewmember of both vessels were focused on maximizing oil recovery at sea. Hundreds of millions of gallons of recovered oil is being pumped from oil recovery systems into barges for recycling or disposal.
