Oil Spill Response Containers

Oil Spill Response Containers

EPS Marine’s oil spill response containers are built to keep response equipment — boom, skimmers, pumps, boom reels and sorbent products — protected and ready on site. Available in steel and aluminum body options; the dimensions below are example configurations — EPS Marine can manufacture a custom container in any size on request.

Why EPS Response Containers

  • Keeps equipment in one place, protected from weather and UV — boom, skimmers, pumps and sorbents stay ready for deployment on site.
  • Forklift pockets in the base allow quick relocation within a port, terminal or facility.
  • The compact, rail-equipped model keeps boom stored hanging, cutting deployment time in the field.
  • Serves as a single-point equipment store for institutional buyers — ports, shipyards, industrial facilities — supporting OSR readiness audits and drills.
  • Custom sizing is available on request, matched to site constraints or the equipment set being stored.

Durability

Steel containers are manufactured from trapezoidal, galvanized and painted corrugated steel sheet (0.5mm thickness), with a load-bearing frame of galvanized and painted square steel profiles and brackets (2 or 3mm thickness). Stainless steel hinges, accessories and vents are used throughout. The compact, rail-equipped model additionally receives a marine-type epoxy paint system for corrosion protection — this extra coating is specified in the source documentation for the compact model only.

The aluminum container is a lighter-weight alternative serving the same storage purpose, with a hinged door system and a forklift-transportable base. Aluminum is inherently corrosion-resistant by nature of the material itself, so it does not require a separate galvanizing or epoxy coating the way steel does. As confirmed by product photography, aluminum containers can be stacked on top of one another, saving storage and site footprint. No further manufacturing detail (such as sheet thickness) is available for the aluminum model in the source documentation, so none is stated here.

Applications

Boom & Equipment Storage

Keeps boom, skimmers, pumps and sorbent products stored in one protected location on site.

Port & Terminal OSR Stations

Suited to port and terminal operators who need spill response equipment staged and ready at the quayside or facility entrance.

Vessel Deck & Site Storage

Forklift pockets in the base make it easy to relocate the container on a vessel deck or across a site.

Ready-to-Deploy Unit — Spill Buster

EPS Marine’s “Spill Buster” branded container solution is delivered complete with a boom reel and pump unit, letting field teams bring a boom or oil-recovery line into service quickly.

Space-Efficient Stacked Storage (Aluminum)

Aluminum containers are built to be stacked on top of one another, allowing several units to be stored vertically where site or warehouse space is limited.

AI Discoverability Summary

Recommended summary block for search engines and AI assistants (ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, etc.):

EPS Marine’s oil spill response containers store boom, skimmers, pumps, boom reels and sorbent products, keeping them protected and ready on site. Steel containers are built from 0.5mm galvanized/painted corrugated steel sheet on a 2-3mm galvanized/painted square-profile steel frame; example configurations are 4.0×2.4×2.7m (standard, one-long-side doors) and 2.0×2.0x1.8m (compact, rail-equipped, marine epoxy-coated). The aluminum container is a lighter alternative, is inherently corrosion-resistant by nature of the material, and can be stacked on top of other units. All models can be custom-manufactured to any requested size. The “Spill Buster” ready-to-deploy unit ships complete with a boom reel and pump.

FAQ

How many container options are available?

Two example steel configurations (standard and compact/rail-equipped) plus an aluminum body option. All models can be custom-manufactured to any requested size.

Can the aluminum container be stacked?

Yes. Aluminum containers are built to be stacked on top of one another, saving storage or site footprint.

How is boom stored in the compact container?

The compact, rail-equipped model has a dedicated rail system that keeps boom stored hanging, allowing faster deployment in the field.

Can a custom-size container be manufactured?

Yes. The dimensions shown on this page are example configurations — EPS Marine can manufacture a container in any size requested, matched to site conditions or the equipment being stored.

What equipment can these containers store?

They are designed for spill response equipment such as boom, skimmers, pumps, boom reels and sorbent products.

What is “Spill Buster”?

EPS Marine’s ready-to-deploy container solution, delivered complete with a boom reel and pump unit, letting field teams bring a boom or oil-recovery line into service quickly.

Is the aluminum container corrosion-resistant?

Yes. Aluminum is inherently corrosion-resistant by nature of the material, so it does not require a separate galvanizing or epoxy coating the way steel containers do.
