The decision method based on Fuzzy Synthetic Evaluation is presented to achieve skimmer selection in oil spill response. Firstly, the evaluation index system of skimmer is determined. Secondly, the fuzzy set theory is introduced to achieve quantification of skimmer qualitative indexes and the evaluation matrix of skimmer is established by expert investigation. Then the alternative skimmers are evaluated by the method of Fuzzy Synthetic Evaluation, and the optimal selection of skimmer can be obtained.

ABSTRACT The initial response to the Exxon Valdez oil spill, in Prince William Sound, Alaska, March 24, 1989, was to locate, contain, and recover free oil on the open water before it reached the shoreline. Mobilizing the necessary equipment and materials was a major challenge. Oil was tracked primarily by airborne observers supplemented by remote-sensing devices; the immediate generation of maps showing the oil's location was a critical component in the initial response. Free oil was contained mainly by the placement of booms of various designs and manufactures in crucial locations. Ultimately, more than 100 miles of containment boom were used for this purpose. After containment, oil was removed by skimmers and other devices from the water's surface. Additional equipment was needed to transfer the recovered oil from the skimmers to temporary storage, where it was held pending final disposal. This paper presents the details of the tracking, containment, and recovery operations, with comments on how well various types of equipment performed.

Oil Spill Response

ABSTRACT An oil spill response model, configured for operation on a personal computer, was developed for the Canadian Beaufort Sea (in the Mackenzie Bay-Tuktoyaktuk Peninsula area) for a consortium of oil companies operating in the region. The spill model predicts the drift, spread, evaporation, dispersion, emulsification, and shoreline interaction of spilled oil in ice-infested waters. Wind conditions and ice distribution data are input by the user. Currents are provided by a three-dimensional, fine-grid hydrodynamic model of the study region forced by river flow and wind. The spill model allows the user to reinitialize the spill location based on observations and to simulate either instantaneous or continuous spill scenarios. The model predicts the spill's trajectory, the areal distribution of the oil slick, the oiled shoreline, and the oil mass balance as a function of time. Model output is provided on a color ink printer or a color graphics monitor.
