SUPSALV Venice, LA Deepwater Horizon Support Site Three Class V Modular Skimming Systems were then assembled in Gulfport, and support equipment for skimming operations was prepared. Since there would not be enough SUPSALV Boom Mooring Systems available from ESSM bases Cheatham and Port Hueneme to moor all the 42″ boom onsite, the USCG directed that SUPSALV obtain this equipment commercially for the additional 50 Boom Mooring Systems that would be needed.

Final Report, SONS Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill, Gulf of Mexico, 27 April — 24 September 2010 Figure 6. Oil Containment Boom Deployed off the Western Tip of Ship Island in a Cascade Configuration Sunday, 2 May 2010 Fifty-four total truckloads of additional gear had left the CONUS ESSM bases. Fifty-two truckloads of SUPSALV gear had arrived. Three thousand feet of USS-42″ Oil Containment Boom had been deployed to date near the western tip of Ship Island in 1000′ cascaded sections. See Figure 6. The OSV MV John Coghill, carrying 2000′ of USS-42″ Oil Containment Boom on board, was rigged for deployment. Three thousand feet of USS-42″ Oil Containment Boom was staged pierside ready for load-out onto the vessel. Three modular Class V Vessel Skimmers (SK0721) were assembled pierside and ready for loadout or deploying. The rigging of 2000′ of Oil Containment Boom was prepared for deployment, however deployment operations were delayed due to bad weather. The USCG, SUPSALV, and GPC continued to configure and organize bases of operations. Kemp Skudin, Stephanie Brown (SUPSALV Representatives), Lloyd Saner (GPC Program Manager), and CWO3 Peter Davenport (USCG) met with the OSV MV John Coghill captain to discuss potential future VOSS skimming operations. The staging area was secured at 1500 due to thunderstorms and tornado warnings. 7
