Our approach to each project is structured to reflect best industry practice from the design stage through to development and conducting the exercise, followed by a comprehensive review.

We develop and base exercises on realistic scenarios tailored to your operations and utilizing our experience of responding to oil spills world-wide. Our exercises contain a significant educational element, integrated into training programmes. We produce a detailed report to highlight any improvements required, both in your contingency procedures and your training and exercise plans.
