NEW BASES AND NAME CHANGE AT CTSL
Delivering expert environmental claims, tank and site services throughout the UK since 2006, CTSL Group is an industry leader in the innovative management of safe fuel and liquid clean-up, fuel storage and distribution.
Last year CTSL carried out some restructuring across the group to better align our products and services with our trading companies. As a result of that all of our mainland UK remediation operations are being delivered under the banner of CTSL Spill Specialists Ltd. This gives us one galvanised brand and we’ve opened up a 4th depot in Cambridge along with our existing bases in Preston, Bathgate and Barnsley so we now have greater geographic coverage than ever before as well.
Complete Tank Solutions Ltd., which was renamed CTSL (England) Ltd. a couple of years ago, now operates as a specialist engineering contractor and no longer provides remediation services.
CTSL has had a busy start to the year undertaking fuel and remediation work and has been involved in fuel tank decommissioning in Halifax, two tank installations to provide 130,000 litre capacity for stand by generator plant at a hospital as well as the usual run of spill response work across the UK.
‘The restructure has helped the group to focus it teams on providing more focussed product delivery and better client management whatever the project. This becomes more important as the projects get larger in scope and value but also ensures that our clients get the best support whatever the job!’ Eve Muirhead, Managing Director.
CTSL Spill Specialists Ltd.’s 4 operating depots instead:
Head Office – Preston, Lancashire
Yorkshire – Barnsley; Cambridgeshire – Waterbeach; Scotland – Bathgate.

OSRL’S WEST AFRICA SURVEILLANCE PLATFORM (WASP) SUPPORTS THE GABONESE NAVY IN A SEARCH AND RESCUE OPERATION
OSRL has recently supported the Gabonese Navy in a fantastic collaboration between multiple agencies to save lives at sea.
On Sunday 24th January, a maydaymessage was sent by the ‘Marie Alexandra’,a French fishing trawler in distressapproximately 200 nautical miles southof Libreville. Shortly after the initial alert,communication with the vessel was lost.With one of WASP aircraft now based inLibreville, OSRL was in an ideal positionto help. The Gabonese Navy quicklyrequested deployment of the WASPaircraft by OSRL partner, Action AirEnvironment, the WASP operator.
OSRL and the Gabonese Navy had recentlycompleted an exercise to demonstrate theaircraft’s surveillance capability, so it wasevident how the plane could help rescueefforts.
Primary mission - complete a search andrescue mission on behalf of the GaboneseNavy.
Action Air Environment quickly contacted the OSRL Duty Manager to request approval for deployment. Permission was swiftly granted and the aircraft soon airborne, racing to the last known coordinates searching for the vessel in distress.
The aircraft located the vessel shortlyafter take-off and made radio contact viathe marine band Very High Frequency(VHF) radio. Thankfully the crew were allsafe, but the ship had lost power and wasfloating adrift. The aircrew could relayinformation from the scene to the NavalIncident Command who organised a vesselto rescue the stricken crew. Crisis avertedand lives saved. A fantastic team effort,congratulations to all involved.
Capitaine De Corvette IGOUWE AbdoulayePrince (Operations Commander ofthe Gabonese Navy) said “Action Air’sCessna aircraft was indispensable in ourintelligence gathering during the assistancemission to the trawler Marie Alexandra onJanuary 24, 2021.
After a 2h30 flight, the Action Air plane allowed us to enter in visual and radio contact with the vessel in distress, and thus to know more precisely what the situation of the boat was (engine damage, drift). Its contribution guided the command’s decisions in order to carry out this SAR mission successfully.

Its effectiveness was pronounced in:
- Its availability in real time;
- its projection capacity (fast);
- Its multitude of means of communication(HF/VHF/ chat software specific to theaircraft)”
