ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
DUE TO OIL SPILLS
NEED FOR OIL SPILL TRAJECTORY PREDICTION SYSTEM
DISSEMINATION OF OIL SPILL ADVISORY SIGNIFICANCE OF OIL SPILL TRAJECTORY
TO USERS PREDICTION
In order to prevent the impact of oil
spills on the marine environment an oil
spill trajectory prediction system is
required, to provide the trajectory of an
oil spill thereby protecting the Marine
habitats.
In the event of oil spill, the direction
and movement of the oil will be
predicted in advance in our system
and will be disseminated to the Users.
The clean up and control measures
will be planned and carried out
accordingly.

OIL WEATHERING AND TRAJECTORY
MODELING

WEATHERING MODELS Predicts the changes


in the oil characteristics with respect to the time.

TRAJECTORY MODELS - Predicts the path of


the spilled oil with respect to the time

USES OF OIL SPILL MODELS


1. Contingency planning - to protect the
marine organisms

2. Mock drills/ exercise - conducted by


various offshore industries as a part of
regulations

3. Oil spill response operations - to issue


the advisory in the event of oil spills.

GNOME- (General NOAA Operational Modeling
Environment)

GNOME was developed by the Emergency Response Division of NOAA's

Office of Response and Restoration.

First release - March, 1999 ,Recent version - GNOME 1.3.9 - Sep 2014

Predict how wind, currents and other processes might move and spread oil

spilled on the water.

It gives the best estimate (black color) and Minimum regret estimates (red

color) of spill trajectories.

CASE STUDY
INCOIS ADVISORY DURING OIL SPILLS /MOCK DRILLS / SEARCH RESCUE OPERATION

MV RAK CASE
STUDY,AUGUST 2011
MV BINGO SUNK ,OCTOBER 2013

A cargo ship named MV Bingo sank on 12 October, 2013 in the vicinity of Sagar

island in the northern Bay of Bengal in the wake of very severe cyclone Phailin.

The Indian coast guard sought the help of INCOIS to locate personnel left the ship

in a life raft on Sun, Oct 13, 2013 at 0917 hrs IST. Accordingly the trajectory from

the last known position 21 13.9' N, 088 11.6' E (off sagar islands) of MV BINGO

was generated using GNOME. Model was forced with forecasted ROMS currents

and ECMWF winds. The predicted trajectory was found to be moving towards the

coast. That information was sent to Indian coast guard. Finally, the Coast Guard

found the beached life raft near Digga Mohan at 2138'20.1" N, 87 31'8.5" E within

3.5 km of predicted location. The prediction of the likely path of the raft helped the

Indian coast guard in finding the life raft, and in turn saving the 18 crew members.

SYSTEM
ONLINE OIL SPILL ADVISORY SYSTEM
LAUNCH - EXPERIMENTAL SET UP OF OOSA,12.05.2014 OOSA BETA VERSION
1. The Experimental set up of GNOME based Online
Oil Spill Advisory system is launched for the Indian
Coast guard, port authority, maritime boards and
other agencies involved in clean up measures
2. OOSA will generate the predicted trajectory after
submitting the details of the spilled oil. The trajectory
will be displayed in an open layers web map
indicating the nearby locations with respect to
time.
3. Future upgradation includes the integration of
Hydrodynamic outputs from flow model 21 flexible
mesh (mike 21)
4. Various officials from ICG, RIL, ONGC, PORTS have
registered this product .

The report puts the cost of damage at a whopping Rs 515 crore.

It also says that fishermen suffered financial losses to the tune of

Rs 525 lakh

the tourism industry suffered a loss of Rs 87 lakh.
