29th September 2022 is United Nations World Maritime Day. A day that allows us to reflect on our engagement with our friends and colleagues in the maritime community.

An interactive Deep Dive session on Oil Spill Preparedness and Response held at the Clean Pacific Roundtable, explored the broad marine spill risks associated with the shipping industry operating in the Pacific Ocean. 

OSRL partnered with Chiron K9 in 2019 to provide canine oil detection services to our members on a non-guaranteed, best endeavours basis as an additional service to our Service Level Agreement.

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic does not mean that we can’t continue delivering our preparedness services. Drawing on our own experience of managing recent virtual exercises and incident management teams, both internal and with members, we believe OSRL has some valuable lessons learned to share with industry.

OSRL is pleased to announce the launch of a unique new tool to support the industry in the event of a spill. The Global Dispersant Inventory map offers a summary of location, volume and type of dispersant stockpile to enable faster, smarter decision-making when time is of the essence. 

Last week, OSRL personnel participated in a joint offshore deployment exercise with the Marine Spill Response Corporation (MSRC). Taking place off the coast of Miami, Florida, the event was an opportunity for both organisations to share best-practice approaches and build an effective foundation for future collaboration. 

On Wednesday, 12^th of November the OSRL Subsea Well Intervention Service (SWIS) team hosted their second members’ day at the SWIS base in Saldanha Bay, South Africa. 

On Wednesday, August 16, OSRL CEO Robert Limb lead a multifaceted OSRL team to Brazil to present a forum on Preparedness for a Major Subsea Incident. The forum was held at the Brazilian Petroleum & Gas Institute (IBP) in Rio de Janeiro, with a follow-on visit on Thursday, August 17, to the SWIS base at Angra dos Reis.

How long does it take for the aircraft to be enroute to its destination?

How much dispersant can it contain?

How far can it fly? Who flies the planes?

How can the location of the dispersant stockpile affect mobilisation time?

How does the incident location affect the mobilisation procedure?
