The opportunity to reduce logistics costs through the AMLA sharing initiative continues to attract new members and I am pleased to announce that the following companies have been admitted to the alliance during September 2009 bringing our membership to 24 companies operating out of Aberdeen & Peterhead.

GDF Suez E&P UK Limited

TAQA Bratani Limited

I am sure you will all welcome our new members and look forward to working together with each of them over the coming months. 

If you know of operators working in your area that are not signed up to the agreement why not direct them to the website so that they too have the opportunity to take advantage of a low-cost alternative to satisfy their ad-hoc requirements.

Remember, the more members the greater your chances of being a sharer or a recipient.

During 2008, we had a healthy number of shares resulting in earnings of £335,169 and an estimated savings of £1,129,829 giving us a combined total of £1,464,998 earned or saved by the alliance.  During the same period an estimated reduction in CO2 emissions of 1,150tonnes equates to approximately 399 cars taken off of our roads for the whole year or the annual emissions of 115 people based on average Government figures for Scotland.

Let’s make 2009 another record breaking year, and seriously contribute to the UK’s reduction in CO2 emissions program, it’ll benefit all of us in the long-run.
