Sealion successfully managed a high-profile emergency response operation following a major oil leakage from a vessel in the Red Sea, which posed a critical threat to the marine environment and surrounding coastal areas of Aqaba. Upon receiving the emergency call, our specialist teams mobilized within hours — deploying containment booms, skimmers, and oil absorption equipment to control the spill perimeter before it reached sensitive coastal zones. In parallel, our certified commercial divers performed an immediate underwater hull assessment to locate the breach source, carry out temporary sealing, and enable controlled hull repair works. The operation required precise coordination between the diving team, the environmental response team, and the vessel's own crew — all executed under time pressure and in compliance with MARPOL and Aqaba Special Economic Zone environmental regulations. The incident was contained without any long-term damage to the marine ecosystem, and the vessel was restored to operational readiness within the port stay window.
