Since more than 50 years, our company intervenes worldwide in case of accidental hydrocarbon spills and maritime pollution events, with recognized expertise in major disasters.
We have been mobilised on major national and international cases such as the Erika (1999) and the Prestige (2002) in France, the Gulser Ana in Madagascar (2009), the MS Oliva near Tristan da Cunha (2011), the TK Bremen (2011), and more recently the CSL Virginia (2018) in France, the MV Wakashio in Mauritius in 2020, the MT Princess Empress in the Philippines in 2023, or the MV Glengyle in Vietnam in 2025.
Our teams have the reactivity, flexibility and operational means needed to intervene rapidly, adapt to each terrain and manage effectively all steps of a maritime or coastal cleanup, even in the most sensitive environments.
Our interventions areas
Site reconnaissance / Surveys
Our teams perform a full field inspection to define the strategy:
environmental impact assessment (pollution type, contamination levels, etc.)
detection of accumulation zones
delimitation of intervention zones
identification of operational constraints
This prior analysis ensures a targeted, rapid intervention adapted to local stakes.
Sensitive / Difficult access areas
Our teams are trained to operate in :
mangroves and marshes
protected zones (e.g. Natura 2000, Conservatoire du Littoral, marine protected areas)
sandy, rocky areas and manmade structures
difficult-access zones
We adapt our methods to preserve fragile ecosystems and ensure operator safety.
Organization, logistics & operational coordination
We manage the full operation to guarantee efficiency and responsiveness:
planning actions
mobilizing human and material resources
logistics (transport, storage)
monitoring and communication with authorities
Coastal cleanup of impacted zones
We deploy cleaning methods adapted to pollution type and environment:
manual collection, skimming, pumping, mechanical cleaning, flushing, etc.
adapted to sandy zones, rocky zones, port infrastructures, protected or difficult access areas
Rapid deployment of trained operators
Constant monitoring of operations (technical adjustments, communication etc.)
Each intervention is conducted with precision and efficiency.
Waste management, treatment and traceability
We ensure rigorous and compliant waste management:
sorting and volume reduction at collection,
categorization (hydrocarbons, contaminated waste, macrowaste, contaminated sediments)
temporary secure storage (respecting HSE norms)
traceability until disposal or recovery via approved channels.
Our team
Our team has recognized expertise in maritime and coastal pollution response and clean-up operations:
experienced professionals trained in technical procedures and sensitive interventions
complementary skills in logistics, safety, crisis management and operations steering
a constant commitment to coastal protection and preservation of natural environments.
Rapid mobilization of equipment
We have equipment that can be mobilized rapidly:
pollution containment booms, skimmers, pumps, absorption and containment materials
collection and cleaning gear adapted to all environments
PPE and safety gear to operate in any conditions
Safety
Safety guides all our operations, ensuring controlled interventions:
trained personnel
MASE-certified safety management
strict prevention procedures adapted to environments and pollution types
regular controls and continuous monitoring to maintain high standards
In-depth knowledge of stakeholders and procedures
Close relationships with maritime authorities, local governments, state services, and protected areas managers.
We understand decision-making channels, regulatory requirements, and operational expectations, which accelerates every phase of a project.
Responsiveness far superior to large organizations in the sector
Where very large organizations may be slowed by heavy hierarchies, lengthy processes, or complex decision-making, our agile team of specialists offers:
immediate decisions
rapid interventions
no internal administrative burden
real-time adaptability
An expert and committed team
Our operatives are versatile, trained, experienced, and directly involved on the field, a model that guarantees:
technical consistency
continuity of information
consistent quality of intervention
Unlike very large organizations, where teams often change from one mission to another, we prioritize stability and individual commitment.
A single, accessible point of contact
Centralized management, direct communication, and high availability save time and ensure smooth operations.
No change of contacts, no unnecessary intermediaries : efficiency and simplicity.
Recognized technical expertise for over 50 years
Our procedures, intervention methods, and deep understanding of coastal environments are built on long-standing know-how.
This ensures complete mastery of complex situations, even in the most sensitive environments.
Rapid and proportionate deployment of resources
Thanks to our substantial internal stock, immediately available, we mobilize exactly the resources needed, without costly or unnecessary excess equipment.
