Logistics and other supply chain activities form a critical part of the response chain. A Logistics Execution Plan  acts as an integrated plan between the Source Control Emergency Response Plan and Oil Spill Contingency Plan to identify risks and resource allocation in one clear picture.

Having a Logistics Execution Plan, Oil Spill Contingency Plan and Source Control Emergency Response Plan developed in the same format, utilising the same terminology and framework ensures ease of use by the end user and plans that truly complement each other. Plans can be efficiently updated and easily scaled to match operational requirements. 

Imagine a scenario where there is an oil spill incident in a remote location without much infrastructure. The response may involve a range of strategies, from wide area dispersant application by air or intense shoreline activities through to Subsea Source Control actions. There could potentially be multiple pieces of equipment, each with unique shipping requirements, to mobilise with the quickest way to get the equipment in-country not being the most obvious one.

• How to call-off OSRL’s equipment (mobilisation and equipment configuration).
• Handover points with roles and responsibilities (distinguishing between surface and subsea response).
• Recommended transportation methods, such as airport capabilities in specified regions.
• Recommended routing, whether it is more efficient by air, sea, road transport or a combination.
• Response time modelling to allow for simple visualisation of critical path activity. This activity is crucial to mapping out tasks required for a mobilisation, enabling immediate identification of critical path items. We align our Response Time Models with the industry recognised IOGP model.
• Response missions catered to what is needed from OSRL - surface equipment, subsea response, Global Dispersant Stockpile, personnel and aviation response. Having what is needed in one plan adds simplicity.

Your Logistics Execution Plan will be entirely unique to the operational requirements of your business. To guarantee a Logistics Execution Plan tailored to your needs, you need to ensure whoever writes it has a full understanding of the equipment it covers, its infield applications and how the different plans link together.

Last year we established our Global Logistics Team specifically to address this complex issue of logistics. We have now written several comprehensive logistics execution plans for members built around OSRL’s equipment knowledge and logistics expertise.
