Oil Spill Response Exercise in Southampton

Tuesday, July 12, 2022

Exercise, exercise.

OSRL is today conducting a No Notice Drill at our Southampton base to train our response teams and develop our operational capabilities. 

Continual exercising is integral to OSRL's assurance to ensure we remain ready to respond. The exercise will simulate an oil spill incident to test response equipment and instruct personnel on best-practice procedures.  

As part of the exercise, we will be deploying vessels and people in the following locations: 

  • Southampton waters
  • Shoreline deployments at Stokes Bay, Hill Head, and Calshot
