Summary
|
This report is
part of the course Weathering processes of oil
spillssupervised by Associate Professor Per Johan
Brandvik.
Diferent
aspects of marine arctic oil spills are investigated. We find that
the po- tential for damage to the environment can be large, and
that response operations are generally di cult to perform.
This suggests that eorts should be made to develop new types of and
improve the existing equipment for oil combating in cold regions.
It is seen that the time window for eective action is usually in
short when an oil spill occurs. This means that it is of utmost
importance to be prepared before the situation arises. The
consequences of this aect a wide range of areas. Personnel should
be well trained and needed equipment easily available. Even if the
preparedness is high, personnel or equipment can often be in short
supply. A pre- made priority list of dierent geographical areas to
protect is then a vital tool to make the correct decisions when
concentrating the report.
