Building on 50 years of sensor/systems innovation, InterOcean has developed the optimum solution for monitoring and detecting oil spills as they occur in real-time! Early detection accelerates response time-- thus, substantially reducing cleanup/remediation costs, and damage to the environment.

The Slick Sleuth™ Oil Spill Detection System is a highly effective, cost-saving system, which is easy to install and requires no maintenance. Because the oil detection optical sensor is mounted above the water, maintenance and downtime are virtually eliminated. There is no marine fouling, leaking, exposure to ships, lost moorings, or other liabilities often associated with buoys and in-water sensor packages.

InterOcean's Oil Spill Sample Buoy (OSSB) is used to obtain immediate evidentiary samples of spilled oil in the ocean. The innovative, robust, simple to use tool is typically deployed by aircraft that perform long-range pollution patrols or respond to reports of oil having been spotted or dumped offshore. This slick sleuth provides the fastest and safest possible method for obtaining uncontaminated samples, which can then be laboratory analyzed for use by law enforcement to "fingerprint" offending vessels and prosecute those responsible.
