Moran Environmental Recovery  Moran Towing Corporation and Environmental Recovery Group, Inc. have formed a joint venture combining their respective environmental management and remediation subsidiaries. The new company, Moran Environmental Recovery LLC, merges the operations of MORAN’s subsidiary, Turecamo Environmental Services, with those of Environmental Recovery, Inc., a subsidiary of Environmental Recovery Group, Inc. Environmental Recovery Group is a leading provider of industrial cleaning, emergency spill response and hazardous material management services. Moran Environmental Recovery operates with more than 100 full time employees and one of the largest inventories of specialized environmental service equipment in the southeastern U.S. It offers a full range of marine and land-based industrial cleaning and environmental contracting services, from one contact point. Prior to the creation of the joint venture, MORAN’s subsidiary, Turecamo Environmental Services, was typically involved in waste oil removal, emergency oilspill response, pre-positioning of oil containment booms and bilge water transfers. With the additional personnel and equipment provided by Environmental Recovery, Inc., Moran Environmental Recovery’s scope of environmental work has been broadened to include land-based projects such as hazardous material site remediation, facility decontamination and pollutant storage system construction. Through affiliated entities, Moran Environmental can also provide asbestos cleanup, lead abatement, wastewater disposal and used oil recovery services. Moran Environmental Recovery takes particular pride in the range of skills and quality of the personnel that it now makes available to its clients. Whether a job is an emergency response to a marine oil spill or a land-based hazardous material site remediation project, the company has the specialized personnel and equipment to meet all of its clients’ needs. All operations staff must complete an accreditation program which includes the following courses: OSHA 40 Hr. HAZWOPPER; Competent Personal Training; API Tank Demolition; Confined Space Entry; First Aid; CPR; Asbestos Worker; Lead Worker; HM181 HAZMAT; OPA90; Fit Testing; and Medical Surveillance. In addition, various field personnel are skilled welders, electricians, and specialized equipment operators. Moran Environmental’s impressive array of specialized equipment includes: a fleet of fully equipped environmental emergency response trucks and trailers; a vacuum truck fleet; marine based work boats; a recovery barge; skimmers; and a variety of protective booming, oil spill cleanup and transfer equipment. A complete list of available equipment can be viewed on Moran Environmental’s web site at www.moranenvironmental.com. Moran Environmental has all of the requisite licenses from the U.S. Coast Guard, the U.S. Department of Transportation and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to handle both marine and land-based work. Moran Towing heightened its focus on safety and protection of the environment in the late 1980’s with the implementation of an extensive employee education and training program dealing with environmental safety issues, including training in cleanup operations and hazard recognition in a spill environment. Responding quickly to environmental mishaps was a natural step for Moran because it already had crews and equipment on the water around the clock. When MORAN acquired the Turecamo Companies in 1998, its ability to provide specialized services was enhanced by the addition of Turecamo’s Charleston subsidiary, Turecamo Environmental Services (which earlier had purchased Coastal Divers & Pollution Control in Savannah, Georgia). MORAN’s new joint venture with Environmental Recovery, Inc. will enable it to continue expanding its involvement in environmental safety. Turecamo Environmental Services and Environmental Recovery, Inc. had been working together for almost two years before combining their operations, and had become a well known team in the Southeast. They were awarded the LSCC Emergency Spill Response contract for the Charleston, South Carolina Cooperative in January, 2001, and served as lead response contractors in three major industry-led USCG PREP exercises in Charleston, South Carolina, Savannah, Georgia, and Jacksonville, Florida. Moran Environmental’s headquarters is located in a 19,000 square foot office/warehouse complex on a 5- acre site in Jacksonville, Florida, with branch offices located in Savannah, Georgia and Charleston, South Carolina. Steve Jenkins from Environmental Recovery Group is president, with MORAN senior vice presidents Bill Muller and Peter Nistad serving on the board of directors. Moran Towing Corporation will continue to expand the scope of its commitment to environmental safety with its participation in this joint venture. |
