Abstract: The paper show the experimental data obtained by the Constanta Maritime University during 2 years in the field of sea waves and stream monitoring. The monitoring system was mounted at a sea petroleum platform. Valuable data for surface stream are obtained. In certain period, we find a interesting change of stream direction, with 180 degrees in a 10 hours time period. The real values obtained for stream direction, water temperature and sea waves amplitude and direction, was then imported as input data for a Personal Incident Simulator Control and Evaluation Sistem, for Oil Spill on Sea.
We consider a possible leakage from the submarine pipelines destruction by a tug anchor in maneuver. Then we start the simulation with these real values for the characteristics of the crude oil extracted. Multiple possible scenarios for the spill are presented, including authority responses using sea tugs equipped with booms and skimmers.
