Oil Spill Cooperatives News

Rudy Teichman, a legend in the U.S. marine salvage industry, founded T&T in 1957, now one of the world’s largest international salvage companies. In a sense, Rudy was larger than life and one who was often referred to as a “force of nature.” He was an entrepreneur, inventor, salvor, deep sea diver, airplane pilot, licensed mariner, restaurateur, musician, philanthropist, mechanic, machinist, politician, and husband, father and grandfather. And, in spite all of his accomplishments, he was more importantly a man of character, hard work and integrity, in a time when your word was your contract.

Federal and state agencies, oil spill cooperatives and private industry cleanup contractors plan to conduct a meeting Wednesday in Everett, Wash. at 8:30 a.m. at the Marine Spill Response Corporation located at MSRC Pacific / NW Region 1330 Industry Street #100 Everett, WA. 98203. The meeting will provide vendors, inventors and persons with conceptual ideas a platform where they can display, demonstrate or discuss new cleanup methods and equipment, which are currently not in use or listed in the World Catalog of Oil Pollution Equipment.
