Modeling for the allocation of oil spill recovery capacity considering environmental and economic factors

This study presents a regional oil spill risk assessment and capacities for marine oil spill response in Korea.

Description
Summary:This study presents a regional oil spill risk assessment and capacities for marine oil spill response in Korea. The risk assessment of oil spill is carried out using both causal factors and environmental/economic factors. The weight of each parameter is calculated using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). Final regional risk degrees of oil spill are estimated by combining the degree and weight of each existing parameter. From these estimated risk levels, oil recovery capacities were determined with reference to the recovery target of 7500kl specified in existing standards. The estimates were deemed feasible, and provided a more balanced distribution of resources than existing capacities set according to current standards. •Existing oil spill recovery capacities for Korea consider only causal factors.•A risk-based approach is presented that includes environmental/economic factors.•Expert analysis is combined with Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) weightings.•Excessive regional capacities were redeployed to other regions.•Simulated incident response achieved recovery targets and more balanced deployment.
