As your “Partner in Compliance” O'Brien’s Response Management (O'Brien’sRM), Vessel Services Division can help you meet the many regulatory requirements for vessels trading in U.S. waters, ranging from financial guarantees and vessel response plan preparation to construction and operating standards. 

Our vessel services are designed to facilitate a trouble free first port call to U.S. waters.   We can develop the necessary documentation to prepare your vessel to enter U.S. waters in full compliance.  We also offer a wide variety of services including arranging Certificates of Financial Responsibility, Vessel Response Plan preparation, EPA Vessel General Permit compliance, as well as arranging special OSRO and AMPD coverage. 

Through exacting preventive audits and inspections conducted by former U.S. Coast Guard personnel or Master Mariners, we will ensure that your vessels are in compliance before they are boarded by the U.S. Coast Guard.  We will provide recommendations, as well as liaison services, to assist owners and operators with meeting federal - and in some cases state and local - regulations.  These valuable services will help keep your vessels in operation and avoid costly delays.

In addition, we offer services to ensure compliance during routine port calls.  These services include regulatory compliance updates by way of Circulars, a Quarterly Newsletter, Master’s Guides and other compliance tools, such as:

• Routine response plan maintenance;
• Pre-boarding vessel inspection and preparation for U.S. Coast Guard Port State Inspections;
• ISM/ISO audit support services;
• Compliance audits and assessments;
• CDI inspections;
• SOPEP/SMPEP preparation;
• OPA '90 Qualified Individual and Spill Management Team services; and
• OPA '90 NPREP compliance through documentation of exercises.
