LEWES, Del. (WPVI) — The Delaware Bay has a new defense in the case of a potential oil spill.

The Delaware Responder was officially christened on Tuesday in Lewes.

The 65-foot oil spill response boat carries 2,000 feet of boom, which helps contain an oil spill.

The Delaware Bay and River Cooperative, a non-profit group made up of companies that receive, produce or transport oil on the Delaware River and Bay, said the boat also has onboard oil storage for recovery operations.
