The Offshore Storage Installation is a barge which is permanently anchored in Liverpool Bay, England, and receives oil from the Douglas Complex of oil platforms in the Irish Sea by way of pipelines under the sea. The facility thus serves as a floating oil terminal, and is capable of holding 870,000 barrels of oil, which can then be transferred to tanker vessels as necessary. The OSI is double-skinned, and is protected by an 800-metre exclusion zone, which is monitored 24 hours a day by radar and a high-powered patrol vessel.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Hazardous area instrumentation is all at sea )〕 The facility is manned by a crew of eleven, consisting of seven operators and technicians, two catering personnel and an OIM. A system mounted in the OSI's mooring buoy monitors the integrity of the installation's nine anchoring cables.〔 ==See also== *List of oil fields *Geology of England *Oil platform 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Offshore Storage Installation (Liverpool Bay)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
