“…This trend is of great concern not only for the potential socioeconomic consequences of accidental oil releases, but also for the threat they pose to marine ecosystems (International Energy Agency 2010; Li et al 2016). As a result, the probability for accidents during exploration, transport, or production activities is increasing.…”

When oil spills occur, behavior is the first line of defense for a fish to avoid being contaminated. We determined the avoidance threshold of the European seabass (Dicentrarchus labrax) to the water-soluble fraction (WSF) of oil using a dual-flow choice box. The results showed that a plume of 20%-diluted WSF (total polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon [PAH] concentration: 8.54 μg L ) triggered a significant avoidance response that was detected within 7.5 min of introducing WSF-contaminated water into the experimental setup. However, the ecological relevance of seabass capacity to detect and avoid WSF remains to be established. In the short term, such a response is indeed liable to reduce seabass contact time with oil-contaminated water and thus preserve their functional integrity. In the long term, however, avoidance may contribute to the displacement of a population into a possibly less auspicious environment, with consequences very similar to those of contaminant exposure, that is, disturbed population dynamics and demography.

“…Mechanical recovery entails the use of skims, booms, and barriers for oil recovery. Dispersants are chemicals that break down the oil slick for dispersion (Li et al 2016;Wilkinson et al 2017). Dispersant use is effective in both open and ice-covered waters.…”

This paper proposes an Object-Oriented Bayesian Network model to study oil spill mitigative measures using cost-effectiveness as a decision-making factor. The cost-effectiveness is defined as the ratio of dollar spent to the efficiency of oil removal in the spill area. The proposed model considers the complexity, lack of data, and uncertainties in an oil spill and response modelling scenario for Arctic shipping accident occurrence. The crude oil release, slick formation, weathering and transport, ecological impact, and response scenarios are modelled using Bayesian Network. Application of the model is demonstrated using a hypothetical scenario of an oil spill involving a ship in the Arctic region. The results show that a combination of in-situ burning, mechanical and manual recovery, and use of dispersants would cost the highest, while the use of in-situ burning, and dispersants gives the cheapest option. The study provides a deeper understanding of oil spill dynamics and effectiveness of the response techniques. The proposed model could serve as a useful tool for oil spill response decision-making.

“…In the Yangtze River, for the not under control ships, there are four alternatives, which are tug assistance operation; beaching or anchoring in the outer limit of the fairway; anchoring in nearby anchorage; immediate anchoring in fairway, respectively . While for the grounded ships, the options are self-refloating, waiting for high water, run aground at full speed, and tug assistance, and physical/mechanical, chemical, biological technologies are widely used for oil spill accidents (Li et al, 2016). For the collision ships, the options are pushing with dead slow speed, run aground, immediately anchoring (Ma & Shen 2008;Xue, 2013).…”

Maritime accidents have received considerable attentions due to the enormous property damage, casualties and serious environmental pollution. This paper first makes statistical analysis of the different types of maritime accidents in the period of 2012 to 2014 in the Yangtze River. Second, the problems of emergency management of maritime accidents are also proposed from the analysis of the major accident "Eastern Star".. Afterwards, four practice cases, including decision support for maritime accidents, emergency resource allocation, emergency simulation system and effectiveness of emergency management, are introduced to present the insights gained from these practices. Last, in order to address these problems, this paper proposes that an artificial societies, Computational experiments, and Parallel execution (ACP) approach should be introduced to establish an improved management system for maritime accidents in the future, and an ACP based maritime accident emergency management framework is proposed.
