Spills below 700 tones DIFIS PROJECT
Spills over 700 tones • Source: ITOPF statistics DIFIS PROJECT
Source: ITOPF Assumption: All small accidents are of 350 tn (the average of the range) DIFIS PROJECT
Source: ITOPF An accident of 100,000 tones is forseeable DIFIS PROJECT
Cargo-Quality 83% of the oil spilt is CRUDE OIL 37% of the oil spills involve CRUDE OIL Source: CEDRE report DIFIS PROJECT
Cargo-Quality Source:CEDRE report Large Accidents Involve Crude Oil & Heavy refined Oil Very Large Accidents > 100000 tn involve only crude oil Oil spills between 10000 and 100000 tn Oil spills over 100000 tn DIFIS PROJECT
Type of Oil The main causes of pollution is spills over 10000 tonnes Number of Accidents Multiplied by Mean oil amount range DIFIS PROJECT
Oil Properties (In summary) • Density – Characterises the buoyancy of the cargo (Flow Models) • Dynamic Viscosity – (can characterise the oil flow through the riser tube and from the buffer bell to the tanker) • Surface Tension (Charecterises the resistance to flow between the riser and oil) • Adhesion (How much will the oil become attached to the riser and the buffer bell) • Variables • Temperature • Oil weathering (~evaporation) Dynamic Viscosity Density Surface Tension Adhesion Rising Temperature Increased Oil Weathering DIFIS PROJECT
Maximum oil Properties DIFIS PROJECT
Vessel Sizing >50000 ~80000 125000-180000 300000 >300000 VLCCs and ULCCs represent great danger in terms of oil amount • Large tankers usually carry crude oil • CEDRE reports that heavy refined oil traffic with large tankers is increasing DIFIS PROJECT
Single Hull- Double Hull • ITOPF projections identify that only 25% of tankers will be single hull in 2007 DIFIS PROJECT
Leakage Rate and Wreck Condition • Leakage rate highly depends on the specific accident. • The PRESTIGE accident involved a leakage rate of 125 tn/day • Pre-intervention monitoring should provide data for leakage rate • According to conditions, leaks will be sealed/ created in order to keep leakage to the DIFIS operational specifications • If the tanker is Double Hull, great possibility of intact fuel tanks • ULCCs and large tankers pose the risk of being cut in half DIFIS PROJECT
Location Weather Conditions Type and amount of Oil Pattern / rate of Spillage Clean Up Response Response on / off shore Termination of clean-up Operation Oil Pollution compensation Consequences Economical Ecological • Effects of Oil on Flora • Consequences on Coral Reefs and Beaches • Effects on Fauna • Toxic Contamination • Destruction of food chain DIFIS PROJECT
Main Events DIFIS PROJECT
Points of Discussion Maximum Operating Conditions • Maximum Working Depth: 4000 m • Seabed : All compositions (anchoring system dependant) • Weather Conditions (Design conditions AREA 1) • Amount of oil to be reclaimed :~300000tn • Wreck status : irrelevant .Only provision : wreck immobile • Design cargo : heavy crude oil –heavy refined oil • Deployment time (depends on the readiness of the system) • Deployment currents : 2-3 kt (max ROV working condition) • Vessel Type : ULCC (possibility of double hull) Should M/V bunker tanks be considered as intervention targets?

Anchoring In General ANCHORING CONFIGURATIONS Catenary Systems Taut Leg Systems DIFIS PROJECT
Geotechnical Aspects USS= Undrained Shear Strength UCS= Unconfined Compression Strength Property table : IFREMER DIFIS PROJECT
Suction Anchors DIFIS PROJECT
Drag Embedded anchor Specialized design should be done by the manufacturer / operator No significant uplift capacity (catenary systems) DIFIS PROJECT
Vertical Load Anchor Installation Retrieval DIFIS PROJECT
Other anchor types Not widely used The major uncertainties are in the estimation of the trajectory, ultimate anchor depth, and final anchor orientation. Combination of suction anchors and Plate Anchors Seems to be very promising as a solution DIFIS PROJECT
Anchoring Solutions Comparison Seabed determines the anchoring configuration DIFIS PROJECT
Remotely Operated Vehicles-Surveying • Surveying Operations Required Anticipated • Position, depth and integrity of the wreck • Seabed stability, geology and geography-Identification of anchoring Sites • Oil amount and type remaining, leakage rate and position of the leaks • General inspection and preparation for the deployment • Possible inspection of the DIFIS main dome integrity after deployment and in periodic checks • Sensors • Cameras for optical surveillance • Sediment echo sounders, series of Piston coring and Mini cone-penetration testing • Measurement capabilities including distance, orientation, elevation, leak flow, temperature • Sensors to calculate the amount of oil remaining in the wreck (possibly sonar?) • Capability of taking oil samples from the wreck’s tanks in order to define the composition of the cargo remaining. This might require special custom designs compatible with ROV standard manipulators. DIFIS PROJECT
