The Canadian Coast Guard (CCG) requires towable, marine storage capacity to temporarily contain recovered oil in calm and protected waters in the event of a marine pollution incident.

Under the ERE Program, CCG is renewing its suite of environmental response (ER) equipment, ensuring a robust and strategic national response capability. The ERE Program will replace aging ER equipment and potentially introduce new response technologies to over 80 locations across Canada; this objective will be realized through approximately 50 to 100 unique equipment procurements.
