At a recent ceremony in
Estonian's capital Tallinn, the Environmental Inspectorate accepted
an Enstrom 480B presented by the President and CEO of Enstrom, Mr.
Jerry Mullins. The helicopter will be based in Tallinn and will be
operated throughout the Estonian region.
"The 480B is the perfect fit for the Estonia Environmental
Inspectorate due to the low operating costs and the flexibility to
meet a multitude of missions. This delivery establishes Enstrom's
presence in the Baltic region and is expected to lead to additional
sales in the area" said Mr. Mullins.
The Environmental Inspectorate is planning on 250-300
operational hours in 2007, and anticipates the usage will probably
grow in following years. The Enstrom 480B will also be used jointly
by other organizations of the Ministry of the Environment; such as
the Nature Protection Centre, the Land Board, the State Forest
Management Centre and local branches of the Environmental Ministry.
The Nature Protection Centre has already booked flight time for
next spring to count nesting birds in red beds.
"This helicopter will broaden our effectiveness and specifically
improve our abilities to cover areas and fields that are very
difficult to supervise and control from land" said Mr. Tarvo Roose,
Deputy Director General to the Environmental Inspectorate.
The Environmental Inspectorate is responsible for environmental
supervision and law enforcement in all areas of the environmental
protection: forestry, fishery, hunting, beach and coast protection,
nature protection, waste treatment, and water ways supervision.
