A method for determining oil spill pollution along Vietnamese coast and estuaries

Abstract

    Based on oil data sampled during the hydro-meteorological and environment investigations by researching vessels of Russia and VietNam in the periods of 1987 - 1995 and 1998- 2005, oil pollution situation is determined. The analysis shows that the oil pollution trend is increasing in the coastal and estuarine areas of VietNam. The other part of the present report is concerning to the technical condition for develping simulation model for oil slick in small areas. The developed model is used for simulating oil transportation under several scenarios of climatological conditions of the Bien Dong sea and the VietNam continental shelf
