Our objectives:

Our significant experience in contingency planning for port authorities, national and regional organisations, the oil and shipping industries, as well as industry associations has moulded our best practice approach to effective planning.

Our plans follow global standards as advocated by international organisations such as the International Maritime Organisation (IMO), the International Petroleum Industry Environmental Conservation Association (IPIECA) or the International Tanker Owners Pollution Federation (ITOPF). Our plans provide answers to the main questions:

Who alerts who? Who commands who? Who does what? Who pays for what?
What to do, How to do it and What resources need to be mobilised.
