Marine Spill Response Corporation

MSRC was formed in 1990 to offer spill response services and mitigate damage to the environment. These services are available to organizations, including those involved in the handling and transport of oil and other substances. The capabilities of MSRC are also intended to help members of the Marine Preservation Association (MPA) satisfy their facility and vessel response planning requirements mandated by the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (OPA-90). OPA-90 requires that those who transport petroleum and petroleum products in U.S. coastal waters ensure by contract the resources necessary to respond to a `worst case discharge` to the `maximum extent practicable.`
