LSES PREPARES FOR BUSINESS AND GRAND OPENING

LSES equipment undergoes independant commissioning checks

Lamor Swire Environmental Solutions (LSES) is now in receipt of the Lamor equipment ordered to establish the first LSES Regional Oil Spill Response Depot in the Jebel Ali Trade Free Zone, Dubai, UAE. The stockpile dwarfs any other similar resource in the Region.

The stockpile comprises of 42 stand-alone packages, each of which will satisfy a Tier 1 requirement. Presently the full stockpile is based at the Inchcape Shipping Services Logistics Centre for the UAE. The contract arrangment with Inchcape ensures complete peace of mind with the total logistics chain required to get emergency LSES equipment to the spill site in the shortest possible time.

The equipment has been entered into a state of the art warehouse database management system which tracks the equipment location by bar code. The system also prompts the planned maintainance checks required. Currently the equipment is undergoing a rigorous independant commissioning check. LSES contracted Richard Tatner, Director Oil Spill Training Company and former Operations Manager of Oil Spill Response Limited to vet the readiness of the equipment.

Commenting on the newly signed partnership LSES Manager (Tom Campbell) stated:

By 18th September 2008 the entire stockpile will be ready and primed both for regular rental services and for emergency use.

To celebrate the commissioning of LSES's first response centre a Grand Opening of the Gulf Region Oil Spill Response Centre has been planned for 15th October. Senior Industry & Government executives from across the Gulf Region and beyond have been invited to witness first hand the scope and scale of the new service. The LSES Board Directors are inviting delegates to attend a programme which includes a dinner reception, a half day seminar on marine spill response, ceremonial grand opening and interactive demonstrations of the offshore, near-shore, shoreline clean-up, ports and marina packages.
