1991
A sharp rise in contracts
The services provided through the European Task Force and for other clients were on the rise: an assignment in Porto Santo (Madeira) due to the spill from the Aragon, the sinking of chemical tanker Alessandro Primo in the Adriatic Sea, with 8,000 tonnes of dichloroethane and acrylonitrile on board, the explosion of the oil tanker Haven, while waiting outside the port of Genoa and advice to the Saudi authorities on the major oil pollution caused by the Gulf War. Furthermore, Cedre was selected for three audit and contingency planning contracts for overseas. This nearly 80% increase in revenue from services increased Cedre's overall annual budget by 28 %.
