2006
Reinforced financial control
Following the post-Erika and post-Prestige growth phases, the stabilisation of staff numbers and costs was prioritised, with reinforced financial control and integration of Cedre in the circle of French "State operators".
This did not stop the centre from working on nine Ritmer and European projects, while ensuring an operational consultancy capacity following the collision of a gas tanker in the Loire estuary in 5th January, the sinking of the chemical tanker Ece in the Channel on 30th January, with 10,000 tonnes of phosphoric acid on board, the grounding of the container ship Rokia Delmas off Ré Island on 24th October, and above all the oil spill caused by the bombing of Jiyeh power station (Lebanon) in mid-July.
Cedre obtained ISO 14001 "Environmental management systems" certification.
