The Ship Oil Pollution Emergency Plan (SOPEP) requires any ship with a gross tonnage of 400 tonnes or over, or any oil tanker with a gross tonnage of 150 tonnes or over, to have onboard an oil prevention plan as per the guidelines of the International Maritime Agency. The primary objective of this is to stop or minimise oil outflow in the event of damage to the ship or when operational spills occurs.

The 12 Barrel SOPEP Spill Kit is the largest of the standardised SOPEP spill kits and meets with the Marpol Convention standards.

Suitable for use on cargo vessels and oil tankers, the kit includes oil only absorbents for the recovery of 1900 litres of oil and large waste bags for the storage of up to 2,000 litres of recovered oil and is stored within two robust and lockable 1,000 litre static bins.
