"The Trinidadian base is equipped with tier 2 oil spill response equipment and trained personnel," comments SafeSTS Managing Director, Yvonne Mason. "However, we have conducted over 1600 STS operations since May 2010, transferring in excess of 350 million bbls of oil with zero spills, an achievement we are very proud of, and which demonstrates our commitment to safety...working in this sheltered area ensures no weather delays to the vessels carrying out STS operations at this location."
One of the core strengths of SafeSTS is the company's understanding of vessel dynamics, operability and logistics, all of which are underpinned with respect for the country and culture in which it works. All lightering operations are undertaken with strict observance of Marpol Chapter 8 and the latest ICS/OCIMF ship-to-ship transfer guidelines.
