After the Sea Prince oil spill accident in 1995, the korean government has taken a measure to establish an emergency response system and equip clean-up capacity against large spill, major contents of which are as follows: First, Korea Marine Pollution Response Corporation has been established as a non-government organization for recovery of spilled oil in order to improve private response capabilities. Second, clean-up equipments, such as large clean-up vessels and oil fences for the open sea operation has been expanded. Third, a national contingency plan on the large spill accidents has been established compliance with the provisions of Article 6 of the OPRC 1990. However, there exist some problems in the national response system, such as clearly roles definition between government and private agencies; propel amendment of the Marine Pollution Prevention Act to incorporate major contents of the OPRC 1990; and training and exercises of clean-up personnel. With the above problems in mind, this paper reviews the current issues on the national oil pollution response system and recommends policy-making to tackle to those problems.

OMA(Oil-Mineral Aggregates) 형성은 유출유의 분산이나 미생물 분해율을 증대시켜 유출유의 제거에 많은 기여를 할 수 있기 때문에 연안 조간대에 표착된 유출유와 자연친화적인 OMA의 영향인자를 평가하는 것을 목적으로 유출유의 농도(50, 100, 200, 300, 400, 500 mg/L), 미세토립자의 농도(100, 200, 500, 1,000, 2,000, 4,000 mg/L), 염분 농도(10, 20, 30, 40 psu), 교반시간(1, 2, 4, 8, 12, 24 hr), 유화분산제의 주입량(0, 5, 10, 15, 20%)과 같은 물리화학적 인자의 변화를 통해 연구를 수행하여, 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 점토광물인 Kaolinite가 비점토광물인 Quartz보다 유출유와의 합체물인 OMA의 형성에 약 3배 이상의 효율을 갖고 있는 것으로 파악되었다. OMA 형성인자들 중에서 기름의 유출량이 많을수록 OMA의 형성이 증대되는 것으로 검증되었으며, 해양의 염분농도 조건에서는 염분농도가 OMA의 형성에 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 파악되었다. 그리고 교반시간이 증가하면 점토광물인 Kaolinite의 경우는 OMA의 형성에 긍정적인 역할을 하였나, Quartz의 경우는 커다란 영향을 미치지 못하는 것으로 파악되었다. 살포된 유화분산제가 Kaolinite와의 OMA의 형성에는 약 13%정도 기여한 것으로 파악되었으며, Quartz와의 경우는 약 56%가 촉진 되는 것으로 파악되었다.

To predict the oil spill dispersion phenomena in the ocean, the oil spill response model, which can be used for strategic purpose on the oil spill site, based on Lagrangian particle-tracking method was formulated and applied to the neighboring area with Pusan port where the oil spill incident occurred when the tanker ship No.1 Youil struck on a small rock near the Namhyungjeto on September 21, 1995. The real-time tidal currents to be required as input data of the oil spill model were obtained by the two-dimensional hydrodynamic model and the tide prediction model. Evaluation of tidal currents using observation data was successful. For wind data, other input data of oil spill model, observed data on the spot were used. To verify the oil spill model, the oil spill modelling results were compared with the field data obtained from the spill site. Compared the modelling results with the observation data, there exist some discrepancies but the general pattern of modelling results was similar to that of field observation. The modelling results on 7 days after spill occurred showed that the 40% of spilled oil is in floating, 36% in evaporated, 23% at shore, and 1% in out of boundary, respectively. According to the evaluation of weighting curves of effective components to the dispersion of oil, the winds make a 37% of contribution to the dispersion of oil, turbulent diffusion 39.5%, and tidal currents 23.5%, respectively. Provided the more accurate wind data are supported, more favorable results might be obtained.

해양에 기름이 유출되면 방제작업의 초기단계에서 기름의 이동 및 확산을 차단하기 위하여 오일 붐을 사용하는 것이 일반적이다. 그러나 오일 붐은 유속, 기름의 밀도와 점성, 수심, 기름의 양, 그리고 붐 흘수의 길이 등과 같은 여러 인자들에 의해 그 포획능력이 영향을 받는다. 본 연구에서는 이들 누유인자가 오일 붐의 포획과정에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지를 체계적으로 파악하기 위하여 컴퓨터 모델링을 수행하였다. 모델링을 위하여 CFD(computational fluid dynamics) 프로그램 중에서 가장 널리 알려진 Fluent를 이용하였으며 기존의 실험자료와 비교함으로써 모델링 결과를 검증하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 방제작업 책임자와 오일 붐 설계자에게 유용한 참고자료가 될 것으로 기대된다.

In Korea for 20 years(1993-2012), total number and average annual number of oil spills were 6,608 cases and total volume and average annual volume of oils spilt were $57,328k{\ell}$ and nearly $2,866k{\ell}/year$, respectively. The annual number of oil spills and annual amount of oil spilt tended to decrease with the lapse of year in Korea. As oil transportation worldwide continues to increase, many communities are at risk of oil spill disasters and must anticipate and prepare for them. Factors that influence oil spill consequences are myriad and rage from the biophysical to the social. In this paper, we analysed the emergency response systems and recovery apparatuses for oil spill accident in marine and proposed a developed oil diffusion apparatus which can be used to initial response stage by crew, and to extend golden times. This system can be minimized casualties for rescued people in disaster.

Bacterial strains which degrade Arabian Light crude oil were isolated by enrichment culture from oil-spilled soil. The strain A54 was finally selected after testing emulsifying activity and oil conversion rate. Strain A54 was identified as a Acinetobacter sp. based on the morphological, biochemical and physiological characteristics. It appears to be highly specialized for growth on Arabian Light crude oil in minimal salts medium since it showed preference for oil or degradation products as substrates for growth. It was found that it could grow on at least fifteen different hydrocarbons. The optimum cultural and environmental conditions were as follows; 25$\circ$C for temperature, 7,5 for pH, 2.0% for NaCl concentration and 2.0% for crude oil concentration. Additionally, the optimal concentration of NH$_{4}$NO$_{3}$, and K$_{2}$HPO$_{4}$, were 12.5 mM and 0.057 mM, respectively. Cell growth and emulsifying activity as a function of time were also determined. Crude oil degradation and the reduction of product peaks were identified by the analysis of remnant oil by gas chromatography. Approximately 63% of crude oil were converted into a form no longer extractable by mixed organic solvents.

Owing to the rising volume of seaborne trade, oil spills damage the marine environment for over 250 yearly. Thus, various analysis methods such as the Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR), Raman spectroscope, and gas chromatography are used to monitor oil spills at sea, but these methods are expensive. Recently, to reduce operational costs, an underwater fluorometer was adopted. However, this approach is not ideal for the remote sensing of oil spills because the device gets submerged in the sea. In this study, we have designed and developed a monitoring system that uses ultraviolet fluorescence to detect spilled oil or water from a distance, as well as proposed an analyzing method defining based on water Raman signal and QF535. Each fluorescence spectrum of water, oil (crude oil), and Bunker A was obtained using the system, and was calculated and analyzed from the spectrum individually. Based on the results of the analysis, we could successfully identity water and oil at a long distance.

In this study, a new numerical modeling system was proposed to predict oil spills, which increasingly occur at sea as a result of abnormal weather conditions such as global warming. The hydrodynamic conditions such as the flow velocity needed to calculate oil dispersion were estimated using a three dimensional hydrodynamic model based on the Navier-Stokes equation, which considered all of the physical variations in the vertical direction. This improved the accuracy compared to those estimated by the conventional shallow water equation. The advection-diffusion model for the spilled oil was combined with the hydrodynamic model to predict the movement and fate of the oil. The effects of absorption, weathering, and wind were also considered in the calculation process. The combined model developed in this study was then applied to various test cases to identify the characteristics of oil dispersion over time. It is expected that the developed model will help to establish initial response and disaster prevention plans in the event of a nearshore oil spill.
