The Haixun 160 ship rushed to the scene with oil spill cleaning equipment,and deployed oil skimmers, oil booms, rudders and other equipment in the accident waters, and then  oil absorbent pads were put in to recover oil products, and the sludge transfer with oil skimmers is simulated. After a series of intense operations, the recovery of dirty oil was completed at 15:00 in the afternoon, the oil spilled on the water was effectively controlled and removed, and the drill was achieved a complete success.
