Our new CEO, Vania De Stefani, has been on a world tour since joining the company in January. This tour has included visits to different regions and meetings with numerous colleagues, member companies, shareholders, and business partners.  We met with Vania to ask her a few questions about her recent trips. 

To acknowledge World Wetlands Day on 2 February 2023, OSRL joined a clean-up operation organised by Bapco and other oil and gas companies in the Bahrain Mangrove Forest, a sensitive ecological resource home to various bird species and popular for kayaking. The team conducted the clean-up carefully, avoiding harm to the habitat, animals, and birds and being cautious of snakes. After the clean-up, they transported the waste to a designated disposal area, evaluated the shoreline's condition using Shoreline Cleanup Assessment Technique (SCAT), and discussed future clean-up plans with Bapco to cover a wider area. The experience was an excellent reminder to the team of the environment's sensitivity.

Hear from our new responders as they talk about their last few weeks of our offliners course.

The UK Responders continue their journey through the offliners course to prepare them for responding to oil spills globally. James Thompson, UK Responder, participating in the course talks about weeks 5 and 6 and having their first offshore experience.

The recent return to overseas training flights provided some local enthusiasts an opportunity to view the aircraft with the 2Excel crew; Flying in Ireland has published an article from the visit, written by author Gabriel Desmond.

OSRL's newest responders have continued their learnings in the last couple of weeks with response techniques covering aerial Surveillance, Fate of Oil, Environmental Considerations, Waste Management & Contingency Planning through insightful and informative presentations, followed in week four with some practical hands-on experience with response equipment.

The response team at our Singapore base recently run their very first shoreline exercise of 2022. This enabled the response team to refamiliarise and test themselves with response operations.

It is hard to believe we are already four weeks into the Bahrain offline programme.

Last week, the UK responders commenced their second week on the offline course. Daniel Lambley talks about how the course is going and the safety learnings.

The Offliners course for the new UK Responders began in March, over the next 12 weeks, these new responders will be immersed in tactical and practical training to prepare them for responding to oil spills globally. 

Week one saw the new Responders learning about the Oil and Gas industry and the role of OSRL.
