Vessels respond to an oil spill. NOAA

MMC drafted and edited UNOLS vessel audit reports for this naval architecture and salvage engineering firm.  MMC also prepared oil spill contingency plans, including Facility Response Plans (FRP) and Marine Operations Manuals (MOM) for U.S. Coast Guard approval. The MOM describes the procedures that a facility will follow for performing transfers of oil to/from vessels.  The FRP is required by federal law and prepared by all owners/ operators of drilling rigs and oil storage facilities to guide response to a “worst case discharge” of oil into the surrounding environment.
