“…The demand for national energy consumption to support economic development has been sharply climbing (Le et al 2016). It is well-known that characteristics of Vietnamese sea are various and complex such as Ha Long Bay, Cat Ba Island with many marine and coastal ecosystem (Hong et al 2008;Nguyen, Jacobson, and Ross 2017).…”

Various occurrences of marine incidental oil spills in the Vietnamese waters require effective high response system. The probability of oil spill, environmental sensitivity, and geographical weather conditions were simultaneously considered to calculate the distribution of the oil spill response capability (OSRC). In this contribution, 13 important factors (3 priority protected areas, marine traffic, max. amount spill, industrial installation, offshore activities, historical spill, distance to spill, sea state, tidal current, visibility and seawater temperature) of 8 oil spill response (OSR) areas were investigated and calculated by using Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (Fuzzy AHP). The results were reflected the highest OSRC in Vung Tau area, peaking about 1,457 tons of the amount of Vietnam national marine OSRC. The study suggested the new scientific platform for the distribution of areal OSRCs to mitigate the damage of future marine incidental oil spills to marine ecosystems, coastal resources, humans, and socio-economy.
