Damaged oil seals due to line intrusion.
When seals are ruptured, oil pressure must be maintained to keep sea water from entering the bearing area. 		Under the Oil Pollution Act of 1990, (Imposing heavy penalties for oil leaks), the U.S. Coast Guard was ordered to advise vessels that when dealing with oil leaks, "The source of leak must be immediately secured."

SPURS helps protect against these environmentally hazardous oil leaks by protecting the running gear from oil seal damage. This damage is caused in the water by entanglement in the running gear with long lines, drift nets, trap lines, discarded floating towlines and hawsers. This type of entanglement damage is the most common cause for unscheduled haul-outs due to running gear oil seal damage and other costly problems.

Installing SPURS as your entanglement clearance system will help eliminate these costly and damaging oil leaks BEFORE they occur. This is why thousands of U.S. Navy, Coast Guard, commercial fishing vessels, coastal tugs and supertankers worldwide have elected to install SPURS as their line entanglement clearance system.
