Project: GRACE - Integrated oil spill response actions and environmental effects

The presented spill risk assessment tool is designed to provide input data for the sNEBA on
characteristic oil spill risks in terms of probability, oil quantity, and oil type in Arctic waters. The
document describes the background data on spill risk modelling and the design of the
designated spill risk assessment model for application in GRACE. Two sites are selected for
trial application of the model and for demonstration of the sNEBA tool.
The design of the spill risk assessment model incorporate a number of selected components
from other presented models and combine state-of-the-art analysis technique for streaming
high resolution AIS information. This ensures reliable and transparent modelling of oil spill risk
in Arctic areas and the model is expected to provide a valuable complement to the sNEBA
tool.
