After many cancellations due to COVID, OSRL finally attended the first joint Cold Weather training in two years.

OSRL's APAC Base kicked off 2022 with a Global Offshore Surface Dispersant Application Exercise.

Last week, the UK responders commenced their second week on the offline course. Daniel Lambley talks about how the course is going and the safety learnings.

The Offliners course for the new UK Responders began in March, over the next 12 weeks, these new responders will be immersed in tactical and practical training to prepare them for responding to oil spills globally. 

Week one saw the new Responders learning about the Oil and Gas industry and the role of OSRL.

ATSEA-2 Regional Project Management Unit (RPMU) and Oil Spill Response Ltd. (OSRL) collaborated this year to deliver quarterly technical webinars. Norman, our Principal Trainer & Consultant answers some of the questions that were asked during the webinar

Over the last two months, a total of 280 African penguins have been cared for at the OSRL GDS warehouse. The SANCCOB team are now wrapped up their response, so the base is back to its regular operational duties.

Whilst the world did not stop in 2020 and 2021, it slowed down dramatically with the effects felt across both cargo and personnel travel logistics. The combination of Brexit, Covid-19 supply chain impact, repercussions of the Suez Canal blockage, global HGV driver shortage, and the travel restrictions and ever-changing Covid-19 testing and quarantine requirements meant that we as a Global Logistics Team, are facing an unprecedented combination of events that directly affected our ability to perform our jobs. 

We have completed our first face-to-face customised training in Singapore since the circuit breaker in April 2020, whilst adhering to Covid safety measures. This attests to our dedication to both preparedness and response solutions, whether in an emergency or peacetime.

In this article, we hear from our Trainers, Yow Lih Hern and Norman Ramos on their experience.

Mario Fazio, our SWIS Manager in APAC shares the answers to the questions that were raised at the recent SWIS Regional Forum.

The Covid-19 pandemic has required us to change much of what we do to maintain the same level of service throughout the last eight months. We have responded to oil spills using social distancing rules, delivered our courses remotely and conducted exercises on virtual platforms.

We know that dealing with an incident remotely presents a significant challenge for many organisations. Taking this into account, we are pleased to publish OSRL's Incident Management System Core Group addendum on the Virtual Incident Management System.
