Your First Choice of an OSRO-Oil Spill Response Organization
As the owner/operator of a tank or oil production facility, marine and/or inland facility, non-tank vessels or shipping pipeline — or if you move oil over roads — you may be required to submit and maintain an Oil Spill Contingency Plan and conduct relevant drills and exercises. And should a spill occur, you are required by law to have the necessary response-rated Oil Spill Response Organization on call. That’s why you need an expert provider that will ensure you are prepared, compliant and equipped to respond to every potential oil spill event.

With more than 20 years of experience, Patriot Environmental is the trusted source for oil spill preparedness and response.
