Abstract

The common calculation methods for vessel fuel oil leakage were summarized. By analysing the fuel carrying capacity of non-tanker vessels statistically and regressively, the relationship between fuel carrying capacity and gross tonnage was worked out. The possible leakage from vessel of 10,000 gross tonnage was estimated based on the result. By using a numerical simulation method, the trajectory and polluting range of the vessel oil spill was simulated in Jiangyin waters of Yangtze River downstream, and different wind direction and tidal current conditions were considered in the simulation scenarios. The prevention and emergency response measures were proposed according to the simulated result.
