SpillRemed^® has been included in the National Contingency Product list of US EPA as a bioremediation agent for in-situ treatment of oil spills in open waters. It is effective both for spills on water as well as for shoreline cleanup. SpillRemed (Marine)^® can be introduced at any time in the lifecycle of the spill: be it at the beginning of a spill while the crew is gathering material support to contain the spill or after completing the setting up of response and recovery facilities.

Unlike chemical dispersants, SpillRemed^® works on weathered oil (please view the attached report) as well, therefore providing the safety net in the spill-response decision-making process. It is a multi-tasking bioremediation agent and therefore can also be used not only for cleanup of floating oil but also is an effective polishing tool for polluted shorelines. SpillRemed^® is non-toxic and is thus not harmful to marine life and it is safe to handle. Additionally, US Coast Guard has also issued a no objection statement  (please follow the link for viewing the document) for use of SpillRemed (Marine) on-board ships and boats.
