The OSPRA Award recognizes organizations that have excelled in their efforts to comply with the state’s Oil Spill Prevention and Response Act (OSPRA).
SPT was recognized for going the “extra” mile to protect the natural resources of Texas with continued excellence in transferring and transporting crude with minimal environmental impacts. The recognition also includes tanker construction and design which takes into account enhanced environmental protection through 100% protectively located double bottoms, double-walled cargo transfer hoses, bow thrusters, high lift rudders and independent fender systems.
