Maritim Miljø-Beredskap (MMB)

MMB is the leading independent oil spill response company in Norway. The company was formed in 1999 to provide oil spill response, training and equipment rental into a market that had historically been provided by the government but was increasingly being opened to the private sector. The company is based outside Bergen on Norway’s west coast in order to serve the North Sea oil market and the principle oil storage depots and refineries.
