| IATA The 727-2S2F (RE) model proved to be an ideal aircraft for OSRL, offering greater stability, adaptability and an almost unrivalled power-to-weight ratio. “Our main requirement was to acquire an asset that could travel further and faster than our L-382 Hercules,” says Robert Limb, OSRL’s Chief Executive. In the unlikely event of an oil spill, dispersants can be used to break down oil slicks into smaller droplets so that they can be more easily biodegraded. These dispersants minimise environmental and economic damage to people, habitats, and natural resources near and on the shoreline. Because of their age, the choice of the 727-2S2F (RE) aircraft offered a relatively low capital cost, while their metal frame meant that adapting and repurposing the aircraft was less challenging and expensive than had OSRL acquired a more modern aircraft made of composite materials. |
