Donjon-SMIT, MSRC partner

   Donjon-SMIT and Marine Spill Response Corporation (MSRC) announced yesterday their cooperative alliance to support both tank and non-tank vessel owners with OPA 90 services.
   This will include the ability of non-tank vessel owners to establish their pre-arranged agreements with both Donjon-SMIT and MSRC, through either company’s website, as well as cooperation between the two companies in the event of a spill response or salvage/firefighting incident.
   “Often times in a shipping event, a spill response or the threat of a spill response is closely associated with a potential salvage and firefighting challenge,” MSRC president and chief executive officer Steve Benz said in a statement. “Shipping customers of both MSRC and Donjon-SMIT will have the benefit of knowing that between the two companies the best and most efficient resources will be determined to make for a successful response.”
