How we work
Prepare. Respond. Recover.
Environmental incidents don’t follow a schedule. Lamor supports governments, authorities and industrial operators across the full incident lifecycle: preparing before an oil spill or other incident, responding when one occurs, and restoring affected environments afterwards. Engage us at any stage, from a single piece of equipment or specialist advice to a complete, managed operation.
01 · Prepare
Understand risk. Build response capability.
Risk assessment, contingency planning, response equipment, training, maintenance and stockpiles before an incident occurs.
Effective oil spill response starts long before an incident. We help ports, terminals, energy operators and authorities understand their environmental risks and build the capability to act on them. Our preparedness services cover risk assessments and oil spill contingency planning, specifying and supplying response equipment, setting up and maintaining equipment stockpiles, and training response teams through courses and practical exercises, including IMO OPRC courses. The result is a response capability sized to your actual risk, tested in practice and ready to deploy.
02 · Respond
Mobilise fast. Contain the incident. Mitigate the impact.
Experienced teams, proven equipment and operational support for active environmental incidents, working within the customer’s or authority’s command structure.
When an oil spill or other environmental incident happens, the first hours determine how far the damage spreads. Lamor mobilises experienced response teams, vessels and proven containment and recovery equipment, such as booms, skimmers, pumps and storage, to contain the spill and limit its impact on shorelines, waterways and communities. We operate offshore, in coastal and inland waters and in demanding ice conditions. Our 24/7 emergency hotline connects you directly to our response organisation.
03 · Recover
Restore environments. Return resources to use.
Recovery takes two forms: remediating and restoring contaminated environments and returning useful materials to circulation. Recovery continues long after an incident is contained. Lamor restores contaminated soil and water and turns waste streams into reusable resources, connecting environmental protection with the circular economy. Projects range from single contaminated sites to large-scale national remediation programmes.
Remediate contaminated land and water. We assess contaminated sites and select remediation methods such as soil washing, thermal treatment, bioremediation based on the contaminants, local conditions and project requirements. We then deliver the work from treatment through to site restoration.

This includes converting plastic waste unsuitable for mechanical recycling into circular oil at our Kilpilahti facility in Finland.

Our 24/7 emergency hotline is always staffed. Mobilisation time depends on location and incident type
Who do you work with?
Governments and authorities, ports and terminals, energy and mining companies, and other industrial operators, often together with local partners.
Do you provide oil spill response training?
Yes. We run courses and exercises for response teams, including IMO modeled OPRC and incident management system training.
