Abstract

Fuel spill monitoring for fishing smacks is a live fuel leak detector that can alert the vessel's crew and captain about the leakage by using a web camera connected to a Raspberry Pi. The fuel spill was resolved using the Convolution Neural Network (CNN). Also, the Coast Guard and the Environmental Protection Agency were informed about the location of the oil discharge through telegrams. Here, a picture of the spill, as well as its latitude and longitude, a live Google map location, and a no spill picture with a GPS location whenever the spillage stops, will be shared. As a result, the team could take immediate action without delay. This spill detection system is linked to an accident detection system. Hence, we can safeguard fishing vessels and marine activities without any harm to human kind, as well as to the living beings in the sea.

Highlights

Marine accidents [1] and water pollution are common nowadays
Major causes of ocean pollution [2] are sewage, toxic chemicals from industries, land runoff, large scale oil spills, ocean mining, littering, effect of toxic wastes on marine animals, disruption to the cycle of coral reefs, [12] etc...When petroleum pours onto the surface of a massive water body, an oil spill occurs
Each year, hundreds of minor and significant oil spills involving well discharges and tanker operations are reported, with the total amount of oil discharged into the world's oceans topping one million metric tons

Summary

Introduction

Marine accidents [1] and water pollution are common nowadays. Major causes of ocean pollution [2] are sewage, toxic chemicals from industries, land runoff, large scale oil spills, ocean mining, littering, effect of toxic wastes on marine animals, disruption to the cycle of coral reefs, [12] etc...When petroleum pours onto the surface of a massive water body, an oil spill occurs. In the 1960s, oil spillage in the seas became a serious environmental issue, owing to increased petroleum drilling and development on continental shelves, as well as the usage of supertankers capable of transporting more than 500,000 metric tons of oil. Because of strict maritime and environmental laws, spectacular oil spills from wrecked or damaged supertankers are unusual.
