Response Services
Elegy is NOT an Oil Spill Response Organization, therefore doesn’t have own resources to mobilize for a spill that can happen anywhere, anytime. But actually who has?
What Elegy has and it is probably the most vital element in a prompt response following a marine accident is an excellent, reputable and trusted network of qualified contractors, resources and experts, including our own ones that can contact, mobilize and contract for any related project. More specifically Elegy can provide the following support services:
-
Identify available equipment stockpiles or response personnel in the vicinity of a spill or in the wider region.
-
Identify experts of various disciplines such as OSR experts, Crisis Managers, Wildlife response experts, Waste management contractors or advisors, specialized Legal advisors etc.
-
Negotiate price list and charges on our client’s behalf
-
Arrange all the necessary logistics such as air or sea freight, local transport, documentation, identifying and contracting oil recovery vessels, barges, salvage vessels and equipment
-

-
Negotiate or communicate on our clients’ behalf with P&I Clubs, Shipowners, IOPC Fund, ITOPF and other Stakeholders (ie. Local authorities) for the technical delivery of the project until settlement of the claim
