Following extensive Industry consultation OSRL is pleased to announce the launch of our brand-new specialist and dedicated Oil Spill Surveillance service for West and Central Africa. 

Why?

Access to timely, accurate and high-quality aerial surveillance information is of critical importance during any successful oil spill response operation. Early situational awareness leads to informed and justified decision making which is the first step to an effective and efficient response operation. Our new West Africa Surveillance Platform (WASP) brings a credible regional surveillance capability which is a step change from previous offerings.
