Oil Spill Response and East Asia Response Ltd (OSRL/EARL) has sold its UK port and harbour response business to Adler and Allan (A&A), handing over its assets and a strong customer base comprising a network of ports around the UK built up over the last 10 years.

After several rounds of discussions, OSRL/EARL decided that A&A is best qualified to take on the role of the leading provider of port and harbour oil spill response services in the UK and is comfortable in recommending A&A to their customers.

Adler and Allan Limited is a major provider of oil and environmental services in the UK and previously acted as OSRL/EARL’s sub-contractor in the South East region. The company is also known for its leading role in the clean up following the Buncefield oil terminal disaster.

OSRL/EARL will still continue to provide its 107 Members worldwide and in the UK with expertise and response to spills of any size. This commitment will also apply to the UK Ports and Harbours that require our training, exercise, consultancy and other services.

About Oil Spill Response and East Asia Response Limited
http://www.osrlearl.com

Oil Spill Response Limited (OSRL) merged with East Asia Response Private Limited (EARL) in 2006 to form a new company called Oil Spill Response and East Asia Response Limited (OSRL/EARL). This transition consolidates the ‘Global Alliance’ created in 2000 when the world’s two leading response organisations came together to deliver a more efficient service to the oil industry.

A not-for-profit organisation wholly owned by the oil industry, OSRL/EARL boasts an unrivalled track record of oil spill responses globally. Operating from offices in the United Kingdom, Singapore and Bahrain, the merger gave rise to enhanced response capability, improved coordination and information sharing, and creating more service options for effective and efficient preparedness and response.

OSRL/EARL is committed to the International Maritime Organization’s (IMO) initiatives to promote training for oil spill preparedness and response. We are accredited to deliver IMO Model Training Courses and UK courses on behalf of the UK Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) and the Department for Business, Enterprise & Regulatory Reform (BERR, formally known as DTI).

OSRL/EARL offers an extensive range of customised and public competency certified training services to governments and industries in many locations worldwide. These are professionally delivered by our own Spill Response Specialists. Our services also include dedicated consultancy services in oil spill emergency and contingency planning.
