Growing importance of seas and shores
 Send this news
Seacor Environmental Services Middle East (Sesme) is forecasting a bright future for the company in the region.
 “The regional governments are placing increasing environmental importance on their seas and shores and this will require more training and education throughout the region,” the company said.
“Sesme is confident that it will continue to provide the high quality services that the regional companies demand to meet these increased national expectations. “
Sesme delivers a full range of oil spill and hazardous material response courses at locations throughout the region.
Sesme was the first spill response company to join the Regional Clean Seas Organisation (RECSO). Sesme has delivered several of the RECSO training courses this year.
Sesme was contracted by the Marine Emergency Mutual Aid Centre Bahrain (MEMAC), to develop and run Exercise Muscat, a major national exercise held in Oman during December.
This was conducted for the Government of Oman, Petroleum Development Oman, Saudi Aramco, VELA Shipping International and MEMAC.
As the Middle East is home to a huge number of water intakes to service power stations and desalination plants, Sesme is now co-operating with companies to ensure the protection and operation of these facilities in the unfortunate event of an oil spill. This includes providing a robust and durable new permanent boom system as well as repairing and maintaining existing systems.
Robin Perry is the new Sesme Managing Director. He is already well known throughout the region due to his involvement with MEMAC and the RECSO Gulf Incident Command Centre committee. He brings over 25 years of international response experience including five years as the manager of Oil Spill Response Limited in Southampton.
Simon Waterman will shortly join Sesme as the Fujairah based General Manager. Simon was most recently the Health, Safety and Training Manager for Gulftainers, responsible for the Ports of Khor Fakkan, Mina Khalid, Sharjah Inland Container Depot and Gulftainer Transport Companies, George Skrzypek, Sesme’s Operations Manager, comes to Sesme from Australia where he worked for the government and offshore oil and gas industries for over 18 years. Ed Bevan, Sesme’s Equipment Manager, joins the team from over 10 years in the marine industry. He has also spent time at Oil Spill Response Limited.
