Intervention MT Princess Empress, Philippines
Le Floch Dépollution is proud to have been appointed by The Shipowners' Club to conduct shoreline clean-up operations following the oil spill of the MT Princess Empress in Naujan, Oriental Mindoro, Philippines. Our team was deployed on March 9th, 2023 in Mindoro and Semirara Islands.
Different types of shorelines have been affected (mangroves, rocky and sandy shores) which will require the deployment of specific techniques in which our company is specialized in. These operations represent a logistical challenge as the islands impacted are remote areas with limited access that our team has already experienced in the past.
We thank The Shipowners' Club for their trust by appointing us and ITOPF for recommending us to take on this new challenge and will deploy our best efforts as usual to help the Philippines face this spill.

Soil remediation, French Guyana
Last October, we completed one of our operations for the EDF Pariacabo thermal power plant in Kourou. Several operations were carried out there:
♻️ Biological treatment of soils contaminated by hydrocarbons using the biopile technique,
👷♂️Rehabilitation/sealing of the treatment area by combining a geotextile protection and a geomembrane (extrusion weldings).
We also intervened for the Dégrad-des-Cannes plant from 2018 to 2019 for the same problem. Two types of treatment were then carried out:
♻️ Treatment of the least contaminated soils by biopile
👷♂️ Treatment of the most contaminated soils with calcium oxide
This marks the end of our operations for EDF in this beautiful region! 🦜🌴 Mèrsi Lagwiyan 🦎🚀!
