Resolve Marine Recieves USCG Approval of OPA 90 VSRP Funding Agreement

Published Jan 12, 2011 2:40 PM by The Maritime Executive

Resolve Marine Group (RESOLVE) announced they have received the U.S. Coast Guard's approval and recognition from the International Group of P&I clubs for their OPA 1990 Vessel Response Plan Salvage and Marine Firefighting Funding Agreement.

RESOLVE’s Funding Agreement is the first OPA-90 mandated document of its kind to receive this combined international acceptance.

Under new requirements scheduled to go into full effect in February 2011, tank vessels carrying oil as cargo must submit a revised VRP to the Coast Guard in order to operate in U.S waters. Each VRP must be accompanied by a signed funding agreement committing a qualified salvage and marine firefighting resource provider to respond in the event that vessel suffers a casualty involving an oil spill or the substantial threat of a spill.
