Blue Solutions Group

Marine Oil Pollution Research and Consultancy

Specialising in advanced scientific analysis, environmental and socio-economic assessment for marine oil pollution risks and impacts and regulatory compliance management

Why BSG

Blue Solutions Group (BSG) delivers a single integrated service combining environmental and socio-economic assessment of offshore hydrocarbon spill risks.

By integrating environmental science, ecology, oceanography, hydrodynamics, transport modelling, and law, BSG provides a cost-effective, defensible assessment package — helping decision-makers optimize preparedness, response, and legal strategy for project licensing

What makes us different

BSG goes beyond traditional oil transport modelling to deliver outcome-focused insights:

• Quantifies impact severity per receptor — not just proximity to a plume
• Links plume behaviour directly to asset-level consequences for communities and ecosystems
• Incorporates droplet characteristics, seasonal variations, and time-specific factors
• Delivers threshold-based impacts across multiple scenarios
• Supports strategic decisions for project licensing, damage claims, and evidence-based redress decisions
