GAB Robins Liability Team has been instructed by the Public Liability Insurers for the Isle of Man Government to investigate an oil spillage off the island.

The oil spilt into the drainage system of a local power station during heavy rains on Monday October 21, contaminating numerous fishing and pleasure boats.

Jeff Stagg, Area Liability Director, is leading the GAB Robins Team of Adjusters with assistance from Alan Dobson of our Environmental Loss Unit based in Maidstone.

Additional support is being provided by Property Adjusters from Liverpool and Manchester. Jeff said "Provisional estimates indicate the clean up costs could exceed £3 million."
