Several oil spill simulation models exist in the literature, which are used worldwide to
simulate the evolution of an oil slick created from marine traffic, petroleum production, or …

Oil is a major source of energy in the industrial world. Exploitation of oil and rigging
activities, transportation via sea, and many other mechanical failures lead to oil spills into the …

Oil spills may have devastating effects on marine ecosystems, public health, the economy,
and coastal communities. As a consequence, scientific literature contains various up-to-date …

We performed stochastic simulations of hypothetical oil spills from a single-point buoy
mooring and subsea pipeline for the Port of Taranto given that this port is an essential …

Oil spills occurring either in oceans or inland waterways may cause serious economic
losses and ecological damage. Previous studies pertaining to oil spills and their …

Oil trajectory analysis (OTA) provides statistics of direction and distance of provenience of oil
spills reaching specific coastal sites. Applied to marine protected areas (MPA), this …

The second-largest oil pollution incident in the Eastern Mediterranean Levantine basin,
following the oil pollution crisis in Lebanon in 2006, is considered to be the oil leakage from …
