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.
