What is FOR?
Simple yet efficient, like all ground-breaking innovations.
Fast Oil Recovery Systems are emergency circuits which allow immediate and permanent access to a ship’s cargo and fuel tanks.
Strategically positioned access points on deck enable salvors to simply plug into FOR Systems as necessary, whatever the ship’s inclination. There is no longer a need for hull drilling.
For space and cost-efficiency purposes, JLMD engineers make sure, whenever possible, to use the ship’s existing pipes to install the systems.
