OHMSETT - The National Oil Spill Response Test Tank Facility is the only facility where full-scale oil spill response equipment testing, research, and training can be conducted in a marine environment with oil under controlled environmental conditions (waves, temperature, oil types). The facility provides an environmentally safe place to conduct objective testing and to develop devices and techniques for the control of oil and hazardous material spills.

Ohmsett’s mission is to increase oil spill response capability through independent and objective performance testing of equipment, providing realistic training to response personnel, and improving technologies through research and development.

The facility, located an hour south of New York City, in Leonardo, New Jersey, is maintained and operated by the Department of Interior Minerals Management Service (MMS) through a contract with MAR, Incorporated of Rockville, Maryland.
