摘要: | The effects of transferring large vessels (> 5000 Gross Tonnes) and vessels carrying hazardous goods to a proposed shipping route along the Norweigan coastline from Rost to Utsira have been studied. The aim of the routeing measure is to separate the traffic and route the ships farther away from the coast to reduce oil spills. The effects of the routing measure have been analyzed by use of accident simulations and case scenarios. The results reveal that one may expect substantial reductions in oil spill volumes when traffic is transferred to the proposed route. The effects are even greater when ship traffic forecasts for 2025 are used. The reduction in total oil spill volumes is predominantly a result of an expected decline in tanker oil spills. / Availability Note: Order this product from NTIS by: phone at 1-800-553-NTIS (U.S. customers); (703)605-6000 (other countries); fax at (703)605-6900; and email at orders@ntis.gov.
