With reference to this letter to the editor, Have Harbour, Will Pollute, local clean up outfit Xtreme Projects have submitted two images of a recent mock clean up exercise that hey held as well as answering some of the concerns raised by Ocean Messengers.
As Kevin said in the comments to the above letter to the editor;
Xtreme Projects are on duty at the rig 24 hours a day, the containment booms at the rig are monitored 24 hours as the wind and the flowing Coega river with wood, sewage etc entering the port, we damaged one of our FRC’s when we struck a large fence pole that floated into the harbour. Xtreme Projects is contracted to be on standby in case, the water that is dirty is from the river, Xtreme Projects will be there until the rig leaves, as we are ISO14001 certified and will report any pollution should it happen. Check the website on the rig and it gives you the full picture of how a GREEN RIG works.
The other photo’s in this piece are of the dredger, dredging the harbour where they are extending the quay wall, it will be muddy in the area they work as it is MUD they are removing.
