T&T BISSO, an industry leader in ves- sel emergency response, salvage and ma- rine firefighting services, is pleased to announce an exclusive cooperative serv- ices agreement with Cook Inlet Spill Pre- vention and Response (CISPRI). Based in Nikiski, Alaska, CISPRI is a compre- hensive standby oil spill response coop- erative whose mission is to provide immediate response capability to its member companies. The agreement pro- vides a unique platform for OPA 90 re- lated salvage, emergency lightering, fire- fighting and oil spill response services in

Alaskan waters and further strengthens the planning and response posture for tankers and non-tank vessels operating in the area. In 2009, T&T BISSO deployed and permanently stationed emergency re- sponse resources with CISPRI to serve the Cook Inlet and Alaska areas and par- ticipated in equipment deployment exer- cises in Kachemak Bay to demonstrate response capabilities. T&T BISSO was the first OPA 90 salvage and marine fire- fighting provider to receive United States

Coast Guard approval of its primary re- source provider agreement. “We are the most committed resource provider in the effort to provide vessel owners with a comprehensive salvage and marine fire- fighting compliance package,” said

Mauricio Garrido, general manager,

Americas and Europe.
