Ohmsett is the only organization in the United States that conducts comprehensive oil spill response research and training in the use of live oil. It is also being used to test renewable energy technologies such as marine hydrodynamic generators. As part of BSEE's ongoing maintenance programme, Ohmsett has undergone major renovations over the past eight months. The facility undergoes extensive maintenance every five years, including the dismantling, dismantling and inspection of major equipment. U.S. Coast Guard Atlantic Commandos assisted BSEE in refilling the largest 667-foot wave tank of its kind in North America with seawater from Sandy Hook Bay.

The three-day operation ends on March 24, 2022. Testing, research and training have resumed for domestic and foreign customers as part of the maintenance of the facility is complete. Clients have quickly booked their spots and filled Ohmsett's schedule for the rest of the year.e
