Vessels of Opportunity



Captains,

The Deepwater Response Vessel of Opportunity program exemplified maritime professionalism at its best. Gulf coast vessel operators came by the thousands to assist in the response.

BAYOU LA BATRE, Ala. - A line of shrimping boats acting as Vessels of Opportunity (VOOs) return to the port of Bayou La Batre after a shift change, Saturday, June 12, 2010. The VOO program was implemented to provide local boat operators an opportunity to assist with Deepwater Horizon oil spill response activities, including skimming for oil and tarballs, transporting supplies, assisting wildlife rescue and deploying containment and sorbent boom.
