Throwback 30: A tale of two mergers

quinta-feira, 5 de novembro de 2015

To commemorate the 30th anniversary of Oil Spill Response Limited, we will be publishing a series of articles covering our milestones. In this article,we document our company's expansion over the years.

OSRL was formally established in 1985. Soon after, EARL was established in 1993 to respond to spills quickly in the Asia Pacific region. Early shareholders of EARL consisted of BP Singapore, Caltex, Esso, Eastern, Mobil, Shell and BHP Billiton.

OSRL/EARL formed in 2006

Merger with CCA in 2013

CCA’s Fort Lauderdale base became a regional response base that would also coordinate with OSRL’s new Subsea Well Intervention Services base in Brazil.

 

OSRL remains the world’s largest industry funded cooperative, and the only organization with a global response capability.

With growth in our company’s geographical footprint and capability, OSRL’s membership has increased to about 150 today.
