Elimination Units for Marine Oil Pollution Application of the EU-MOP system Madrid, Jan 24, 2008
Overview • EU-MOP Unit Types • EU-MOP Operational Capabilities • EU-MOP Response Rationale • Case-studies: Application of EU-MOP in European waters • Overall judgment of EU-MOP oil-spill cleaning potential
EU-MOP Unit Types L-size Catamaran L-size MonoCat
EU-MOP Unit Types M-size Catamaran M-size MonoCat
EU-MOP Unit Types S-size
EU-MOP Operational Capabilities • L-size and M-size Up to Sea State 4 e.g. open ocean / enclosed sea • S-size (mainly) Sea State 1 e.g. shallow water / port areas
EU-MOP Operational Capabilities Possible Locations for EU-MOP Solution
EU-MOP Response Rationale Strategic Level
EU-MOP Response Rationale Tactical Level
EU-MOP Response Rationale Operational Level
Case-studies: Application in European waters • Case-studies of real spill incidents and the application of EU-MOP on: • Strategic Level • Tactical Level • Operational Level • have been analysed for real spill incidents in: • Spanish waters (Sierra Nava incident) • Greek waters (Nordland incident) • UK waters (Tenby Harbor incident) • Next, the Spanish and Greek case-studiesare briefly presented
The Spanish Case: Sierra Nava Spill Strategic Level Analysis: South of Spain (broader risk area) 3 candidate facility sites 4 potential spill sites 3 2 3 4 1 1 2
The Spanish Case: Sierra Nava Spill Strategic Level Analysis: Probabilistic Data (abstract)
The Spanish Case: Sierra Nava Spill Strategic Level Analysis: Simulation Results Type 4: 2 units Type 2: 14 units
The Spanish Case: Sierra Nava Spill Strategic Level Analysis: Simulation Results* • *Assumption: the weathering of oil is not taken into account
The Spanish Case: Sierra Nava Spill Tactical Level Analysis: 350 tonnes spill (Sierra Nava) Scenario based on actual response Actual response: 1 skimmer and 1 tug boat Removed 35 tonnes in 5 days Spill site
The Spanish Case: Sierra Nava Spill Tactical Level Analysis: 350 tonnes spill (Sierra Nava) Scenario based on actual response (1 facility) and strategic simulation (14 M-size Cat units) Storage of 14 “Type 2” (M-size Cat) units in Algeciras Weathering of oil taken into account Type 2: 14 units Spill site
The Spanish Case: Sierra Nava Spill Tactical Level Analysis: 350 tonnes spill (Sierra Nava) Simulation results DAY1 7 “Type 2” (M-size Cat) units dispatched to spill site 120 tonnes removed Type 2: 14 units Spill site
The Spanish Case: Sierra Nava Spill Tactical Level Analysis: 350 tonnes spill (Sierra Nava) Simulation results DAY2 5 “Type 2” (M-size Cat) already at the spill site remove 114 tonnes Type 2: 7 units Spill site
The Spanish Case: Sierra Nava Spill Tactical Level Analysis: 350 tonnes spill (Sierra Nava) Simulation results: Overall response
Case-study: Application in Greek waters Strategic Level Analysis: South of Peloponnesus (broader risk area)
Case-study: Application in Greek waters Strategic Level Analysis: Simulation Results Type 4: 2 units Type 2: 8 units
Case-study: Application in Greek waters Strategic Level Analysis: Simulation Results* • *Assumption: the weathering of oil is not taken into account
Case-study: Application in Greek waters Tactical Level Analysis: 110 tonnes spill (Nordland) Scenario 1 (based on strategic)
Case-study: Application in Greek waters Tactical Level Analysis: 110 tonnes spill (Nordland) Scenario 1 Simulation Results 7 “Type 2” (M-size Cat) units dispatched to spill site Full oil recovery within 25 hours
Case-study: Application in Greek waters Tactical Level Analysis: 110 tonnes spill (Nordland) Scenario 2 (comparison with actual response) Actual response: 1 Aktaia vessel and 1 weir skimmer dispatched from Piraeus Removed 14 tonnes in 8 days
Case-study: Application in Greek waters Tactical Level Analysis: 110 tonnes spill (Nordland) Scenario 2 (comparison with actual response) Scenario 2: Storage of 12 “Type 2” (M-size Cat) units in Piraeus Weathering of oil taken into account
Case-study: Application in Greek waters Tactical Level Analysis: 110 tonnes spill (Nordland) Scenario 2: Simulation Results 5 “Type 2” (M-size Cat) units dispatched to spill site 106 tonnes removed within 35 hours
Case-study: Application in Greek waters Tactical Level Analysis: Results assessment (of a number of scenarios) *In scenario 4, the high figure is due to the fact that only a fraction of the spilled oil was collected because of imposed operational limitations
Case-study: Application in Greek waters Operational Level Analysis: swarms of 8 M-size or 8 L-size units considered
Case-study: Application in Greek waters Operational Level Analysis: swarms of 8 M-size or 8 L-size units considered
Case-study: Application in Greek waters Cost-Benefit Analysis Greek waters scenario (South of Peloponnesus) considering spill incidents similar to Nordland
Application of the EU-MOP system EU-MOP is on the right track and is a promising solution for the future of oil confrontation
