Tiered Preparedness and Response (TPR) is an internationally recognised planning approach that enables the integration of local, regional and global capabilities into oil spill response planning. At-sea containment and recovery is one of many response options available in the oil spill response toolbox and involves the collection of oil from the water's surface. In the fourth of this 16 part seminar series, Response Specialist Ian High discusses considerations when using At-Sea Containment and Recovery and effective containment and recovery methods.

Tiered Preparedness and Response (TPR) is an internationally recognised planning approach that enables the integration of local, regional and global capabilities into oil spill response planning. 

In-Situ Burning (ISB) has been shown to be successful in many environments to remove oil from land, snow, ice or water. The use of ISB can reduce the need to collect and dispose of recovered oil. 

In the third of this 16 part series exploring the wedges of the TPR Wheel, Senior Consultant Tristan Barston, explains the considerations of using Controlled In-Situ Burning as a response option. 

In this second session of a 16 part series, Simon McCosh, Aviation Liaison Officer (EMEA) and Simon Blean, Geomatics Supervisor, will explain the importance of situational awareness in a response and the considerations surrounding Surveillance, Modelling and Visualisation during decision making.

We were invited to carry out a Tier 1 tabletop exercise with Zenith Energy at their tank farm on Whiddy Island, Bantry Bay in Cork, Ireland.
