Vessels such as the Oilaway and Oil Recovery Barges provide reliable oil storage volume matched to a safe working deck spacious enough to transport oil containment booms. Lamor has successfully incorporated advancing skimmers into the superstructure of its workboats.

Its Bow Collector is well suited to rapid response to spills in harbours, coastal waters, rivers, channels and lakes and can be deployed by a single operator.

Lamor Side Collectors are designed to provide flexible advancing skimming capability and can be deployed from a vessel of opportunity. The company also produces skimming systems that are integrated into oil recovery vessels. The Lamor-Lori Oil Recovery System (LORS) integrates the skimming system into the hull of the vessel, allowing it to be deployed quickly, easily and safely by a small crew and permitting oil recovery operations to continue even in the most difficult weather and sea conditions.

In 2001, Lamor teamed up with the UK's VT Halmatic to produce the high profile Haven Hornbill for the Harwich Haven Port Authority. This 20m craft was the first ever example of Halmatic's new range of steel built Multi-Role Vessels.

Adapted for its role as an Oil Spill Response Vessel (OSRV), Haven Hornbill was equipped with a double sided Lamor-Lori LORS 2 X 4 brush system and has storage capacity for 74,000 litres of recovered oil.
