We have been involved on virtually every major oil spill in the past three decades. Projects range from regional response programs for identified geographical areas to compete contingency plans and response capabilities on a national level. We were the primary suppliers to the Marine Spill Response Corporation that was founded in the United States in the early 90’s with an original capital budget in excess of one-billion dollars. We remain their primary response management consultants still today. We have been working with O’Brien’s Response Management now Witt-O’Brien’s since 1987.
