Scenario • 5 days ago a medium sized single hulled Russian oil • tanker collided with a trawler, off the Irish Coast. • 250 Tonnes of Light Crude Oil escaped from the MV • Roman Abramovich before the leak was temporarily repaired. • The Trawler sank and crew rescued. • The Coast Guard has been monitoring the oil mass • with assistance from the Air Corps (CASA CN-252) • and the Naval Service( LE Ciara) • Light winds and strong currents are forcing the oil towards • the Irish coastline.

  18. Oil Trajectory Model – Day 1

  19. Oil Trajectory & Oil fate + 2 days

  20. Scenario • The oil mass is circa 3 miles long varying in width from 100 metres to 800 metres • It is a low viscosity oil (flows freely). • It is largely un-weathered and has not dispersed • It has a specific gravity of 0.87( floats easily & is very buoyant ) • It has a relatively low asphaltine content – does not emulsify easily

  21. Oil Trajectory + 3 days

  22. Oil Trajectory & Weathering + 3.5 days

  23. Oil Trajectory

  24. Scenario • The Coast Guard (IRCG) has been briefing local authorities on the coast twice daily • Heavily oiled seabirds are appearing on beaches • This morning the IRCG informed the County Council that a large segment of this crude oil would most likely come ashore in the area of Port Beach / Clogherhead / Dunany Point / Dundalk Bay Current Situation: • Council personnel on-site are reporting that oil is coming ashore on Port Beach in Co Louth
