Abstract: This month's presentation will be given by Mr. Bill Tageson of Tageson Maritime Consulting who will be discussing his work as an expert adviser to BP during their response to the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the summer of 2010. While deployed to the Gulf Coast, he surveyed the spill area, developed strategies for deployment of federal recovery equipment, and used his experience in salvage and oil spill response to influence joint incident command representatives to make response decisions that were feasible in the field. He will discuss his opinions on the effectiveness of the response and lessons learned. Speaker: Mr. Bill Tageson is a 20-year US Navy veteran with experience in diving, salvage, fleet engineering, oil pollution, and training. He worked as an independent consultant primarily developing and conducting training for oil spill prevention and cleanup for US Navy Supervisor of Salvage, Crowley Maritime, and National Response Corporation. He started his own consulting firm in 1988 which provided training and exercise services to the US Naval Facilities Engineering Center and Gallagher Marine Systems. Most recently, he worked for O'Brien's Response Management during the response to the Deepwater Horizon oil spill.
