LONDON--(Marketwire - February 1, 2010) - SEACOR Environmental Services (SES), a global leader
in risk management, environmental and emergency response solutions, has
been appointed by Emirates Aluminium Company Limited (EMAL) to provide
integrated fire, rescue and hazardous materials response (HAZMAT) services.
SES Middle East (SESME) is now providing the services at the new USD 5.7
billion EMAL Aluminium Smelting Complex at Al Taweelah in the Emirate of
Abu Dhabi, UAE.
SESME has established onsite Emergency Fire Services, delivering emergency
fire and rescue response to the EMAL site and its workforce twenty-four
hours per day, seven days per week. This service is being delivered in
conjunction with the existing emergency response currently provided for the
construction phase of the smelter. The SESME onsite response team provides
pre-emergency planning and risk identification and assessment, fire
fighting and fire safety services, technical rescue including road traffic
accident and high angle rescue, HAZMAT response / cleanup, and fire
prevention and inspection. All services will be rendered according to
emergency plans and standard operating procedures prepared and reviewed by
SESME.
The EMAL project consists of a two-phase construction. By the end of phase
one, the smelter will produce 750,000 tonnes of aluminium per year,
doubling to the 1.5 million tonnes annually by the end of phase two. EMAL
is a strategic joint venture between aluminium producer DUBAL (Dubai
Aluminium) and Abu Dhabi investment vehicle MUBADALA.
"SES and EMAL have already developed an excellent working relationship and
we are delighted to be part of the team to secure the future of this
fantastic new facility," said John Dipple, Managing Director of SESME.
"EMAL is committed to maintaining the highest possible health, safety and
environmental standards and the services of SESME will be an integral part
