Industry is increasingly being called upon to quantify the environmental risks associated with their operations and justify the nature and priorities of spill response strategies.

Environmental and economic damages resulting from oil spills can be significantly reduced through proper pre-spill planning and training.

Contingency plans are critical for any operation producing, refining, transporting and storing oil and are tailor made for specific needs.

Laboratory studies, combined with field studies and risk assessment, provide a basis for the accurate allocation of coastal and marine sensitivities, priorities, and definition of environmental risk, together with an improved, efficient, and justifiable spill response.
