General. All of the SEAPRO owned equipment is stored in twenty foot (20') ISO shipping containers located at SEAPRO member facilities and staging areas throughout Southeast Alaska.
SEAPRO manages a comprehensive maintenance program to ensure that response and support equipment is in a ready state at all times. Preventive Maintenance (PM) consists of a series of maintenance requirements that provide a basis for planning, scheduling, and executing scheduled maintenance, planned versus corrective for the purpose of improving equipment life and to avoid any unplanned maintenance activity while minimizing equipment breakdowns. PM includes adjusting, lubricating, cleaning, painting, and replacing minor components. Time intensive PM, such as bearing/seal replacement, overhaul, and service life monitoring are scheduled based on duty cycles and/or calendar driven intervals.
Preventive Maintenance (PM) data includes equipment tag information, PM procedures, replacement parts, special tools, lubrication requirements, service providers, warranty information, etc. It is managed via a PC-based Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS) which is available to SEAPRO staff via the world wide web, 24/7 from anywhere with internet access.
PM scheduling, Work Order generation, costs tracking, equipment life, and replacement prediction are monitored daily to ensure response assest and consumable inventories are at the peak of readiness at all times.
Below is a summary list of the SEAPRO equipment organized by equipment type and zone. To access detailed information about the equipment type click on the equipment name in the left hand column.

State of Alaska regulations regarding contents of oil discharge and contingency plans under 18 AAC 75.425 specify that the following information be included within the Response Equipment section of a plan:
"A complete list of contracted or other oil discharge containment, control, cleanup, storage, transfer, lightering, and related response equipment, including (i) the location, inventory, and ownership of the equipment; (ii) the time frame for delivery and startup of response equipment and trained personnel located outside the facility's primary region of operation; (iii) the manufacturer's rated capacities, limitations, and operational characteristics for each item of oil recovery equipment, including any non-mechanical response techniques; (iv) each vessel designated for oil recovery operations, including skimming vessels and platforms and vessels designated to tow and deploy boom; (v) information on additional vessels available from other sources for oil recovery operations, including, if applicable, procedures for inventorying, training personnel, and equipping vessels; (vi) pumping, transfer and temporary storage, and lightering equipment for transferring oil from damaged or undamaged tanks; and (vii) the procedures for storage, maintenance, and inspection of spill response equipment under the immediate control of the operator when not in use, including procedures for periodic testing and maintenance of response equipment." (18 AAC 75.425(e)(3)(F)) [As explained in the Approval Criteria section, under 18 AAC 75.445(g)]: “Response equipment identified in the plan must meet the following conditions: (1) the applicant must have ready access to enough equipment to meet the applicable response planning standards established under 18 AAC 75.430 -- 18 AAC 75.442 using mechanical methods of oil control, containment, and cleanup; (2) identified equipment must reflect the best available technology at the time the plan is submitted or renewed; (3) types and amounts of boom, boom connectors, and anchorage devices must be of the appropriate design for the particular oil product, type of environment, and environmental conditions experienced at the facility or operation; the boom must be of sufficient length to mount an effective response to the volume of discharged oil established under 18 AAC 75.430 -- 18 AAC 75.442 for each type of facility or operation; (4) vessels used to deploy and tow boom must be of a number, size, and power adequate to deploy the types and amounts of boom addressed in (3) of this subsection and must be capable of operating in the manner and at the speeds necessary for the effective use of boom; and (5) the number and size of skimmers and pumps to be used must be appropriate and adequate for recovery of the planning standard volume for the type of oil discharged within the planning standard time limit for cleanup established under 18 AAC 75.430 -- 18 AAC 74.442; equipment types must be compatible with each other as necessary to ensure an efficient response.”
ADEC Oil Discharge Prevention and Contingency Plan: Application and Review Guidelines provide the following information regarding required contents of this section:
“All equipment identified in the response plan must be designed to operate in the general conditions excepted in the geographic area in which the facility or operation is located, and must reflect the best available technology (BAT) at the time of approval or renewal of approval. BAT is defined in 18 AAC 75.990(5) as “equipment, supplies, and other resources which, in the Department’s judgment, meet or exceed the current level of demonstrated available technology.” A determination on compliance with the BAT requirement is made by the reviewing office during review of the original application, and at each renewal of plan approval.
All identified equipment must also be appropriate and compatible to the type of oil for which it will be used.
