BE-AWARE I: Risk of Spills in 2020

• Improved navigational aids

• Increased/modified response capacity

• Improved response technology

How do we best manage the risk of spills?

• Model outflow: – Different scenarios– Different weather

conditions– Different oil types

• Model response– Ships, capacity, boom

length– Visibility, wave height,

daylight

Model outflow

Environmental and socioeconomic sensitivity

• Combine modelled spills and sensitivity

• Outline impact for different scenarios and spill sizes

Impacts of oil spills

• Most effective sub regional scenarios

• Cost effectiveness of sub regional scenarios

• Risk management conclusions

Risk Management Conclusions

A) Proje

ct Management

• Administrative and financial management• Information exchange

B) Publicity

• Kick off meeting, Feb 2014, France• Communication plan• Website, Final report

C) Methodology

• Method seminar, March 2014 Southampton, UK• Development of a method note• Identify Future Scenarios

ct Database

• Collect data in line with Data Request Note• Collect information on existing response capacity

E) Oil spill modelling

• Application and test of oil spill and response model modifications• Execution of scenario modelling• Extraction and presentation of results

F) Sensitivity Analy

sis

• Mapping of vulnerable features• Mapping of sensitive socioeconomic features• Ranking of features

G) Project Workshop

• Workshop, Jan 2015, Norway• Scrutinise results of the preceding tasks and review the

approach for the upcoming tasks
