OSRL reflects on four decades of achievements with an impactful Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM). From AI-powered workshops to strategic updates and a special anniversary event at the Natural History Museum, explore the highlights of this extraordinary week.

OSRL, a global leader in oil spill response and preparedness, is proud to unveil its newly designed logo, marking a significant step in the company's rebranding efforts. The new logo encapsulates OSRL’s core values of safety, collaboration, and innovation while reflecting its commitment to future aspirations. Find out more about the redesign.

OSRL, a global leader in oil spill response, is inviting suppliers to submit proposals for upgrading its dispersant effectiveness monitoring system to include autonomous capabilities. This upgrade will enhance monitoring precision and safety, leveraging Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) and reducing human intervention. Proposals are due by 1st November 2024, with key dates outlined for confirmation, interviews, and equipment trials. The RFP seeks innovative solutions in line with the SMART protocol, including ongoing technical support and training. Suppliers should contact Bryony Wood or Rhea Shears for more details.

As we celebrate our 40-year journey, we remain dedicated to meeting the evolving needs of our members. Equipped with world-class resources and skilled professionals, we are ready to respond to any situation and continue to provide exceptional value.

This week we are performing a live on-the-water exercise (11th to 14th June) to train our response teams and develop our operational capabilities. The live on-the-water exercise simulates an oil spill incident to test response equipment and instructs personnel on good-practice procedures. 

It will take place over four days southwest of the Isle of Wight and along the Solent and involve several specialist vessels out on the water, as well as a Boeing 727 aircraft adapted with internal tanks, pumps, and spray booms flying alongside a dedicated surveillance aircraft. Partner 2Excel Aviation will operate the Boeing 727 and the surveillance aircraft.

An exciting chance to be part of our ‘Bridging Research to Response’ endeavour is now available as we look to collaborate with UK-based students on a new research project either via a taught Masters plus research project or a focused MRes project.

Leveraging technology for a streamlined approach, including a translation platform, ensures cost-effective and rapid development, setting a new standard in Computer Based Training for industry.

As the first month of the New Year draws close, we proudly reflect on our 2023 achievements as an organisation.

This year’s EGM and Members’ Forum, held in Fort Lauderdale, was a great success, with guests attending workshops, meeting some of our experts, and networking with industry peers. Find out more about the event.

As we welcome G-OSRB, back to the UK from Djibouti, we are excited to announce that the aircraft will be stationed at its new operational base, London Southend Airport (LSA), alongside G-OSRA.
