Star Enterprise spill response management system
Federal and state regulations require a quick and effective response to an environmental incident. Cost data collected by third party consultants for oil spills that have occurred within the last few years indicate that the cost for cleanup, fines, natural resource damage assessments and third party claims can range from $2,000 to greater than $10,000 per bbl. of product spilled. A large portion of this cost is attributable to natural resource damage and third party claims. A quick, effective, and efficient response to an environmental incident can help minimize the high costs associated with spill cleanup, natural resource damages and third party claims. Development of computer resources for spill response teams to use during spill response, as well as training exercises, will facilitate achieving the desired response capability.
