Oil spill response can also be seen as a first step of a waste management chain. Currently, there is huge potential for improvement in the management and performance of this chain. Such services as port waste management and hazardous waste management can easily be combined with oil spill response. The same personnel can partly be used and even the same equipment to some extent. CGI’s targeted customers within the oil and gas industry usually have inadequate means and resources leading to inadequate performance in managing this chain in general. They are forced to strengthen their resources, which lead to a situation where they are over-manned for their own needs but under-manned for serious events. This is a typical reason for outsourced shared services within any industrial operation.
