More than a contractor — a partner in protection
From our base in Takoradi, SpillGuard Engineering Ghana Limited serves both the foreseeable and the unforeseen with equal seriousness.
Two promises, one mission
Every action we take is held to two promises. They are not slogans; they are the standards we measure our work against every day, on the water, and on the coast.
Contain and recover every release
We are an oil-spill response company. Our Ghanaian crews, equipment, and plans exist to keep product out of the sea — and to get it back out fast when that fails.
Protect the marine & coastal environment
The coast isn't a backdrop — it's a livelihood. We safeguard the fisheries, mangroves, and shoreline communities a spill would reach first.
Led from Ghana, accountable to the coast

Leadership grounded in the Gulf of Guinea
SpillGuard Engineering Ghana Limited is led by Christine Churcher as Chief Executive Officer. The company's direction — from prevention planning to emergency response — is set from Takoradi, by people accountable to the coast and the communities our work protects.
That leadership shows up in how we operate: Ghanaian crews kept ready, equipment staged close to the water, and plans written to hold up to Ghana EPA and international standards — so that when a release happens, the response is measured, not improvised.
Built to the standards our clients get audited against
Our plans, procedures and crews are written around the frameworks below. If your own inspection is coming up, we can send the supporting documents ahead of it.
- IMO OPRC
- OPRC Convention
- The international framework for oil-pollution preparedness. It shapes how our plans are written and how we drill against them.
- Ghana EPA
- Ghana EPA requirements
- Whatever we write has to satisfy the regulator. We work to Ghana EPA requirements first, then layer the international standards on top.
- MARPOL
- MARPOL Annex I
- The rules on oil handling, storage and transfer at sea. Our procedures are written around them, not paraphrased from them.
- ISO 9001 / 14001
- ISO 9001 and 14001
- Quality and environmental management. Documented procedures, kept current, and audited rather than filed away.
- Duty roster
- Trained, and on the roster
- On-scene-coordinator trained responders with real incident experience. Somebody is on the duty phone every hour of the year.
Certification documents are issued per engagement — ask and we'll send them.
