Gaico Construction Inc on Friday launched an Oil Spill Response Operation at a cost of US$500,000 that would help to free the environment of pollution, as Guyana prepares to drill for oil.
At a commissioning ceremony, Chief Executive Officer of the company, Komal Singh, noted the greatest risks are from single hull tankers transporting fuel and said there has been a lot of “near misses in Guyana when it comes to spills…”
Also present at the function, was President David Granger who congratulated Singh on the initiative.
Oil and gas Professor Suresh Narine, in his remarks lauded Gaico for taking the initiative to prepare for the “very real chance of oil spills.”
