6 4 1 Summary This report presents the preliminary results of the risk analysis within the BRISK project The report shall serve as basis for the further work on identification of needed resources and corresponding investment plans A brief description of the overall methodology is given as well as en overview of the scenarios that are selected A collection of maps are given illustrating the distribution within the Baltic Sea of the impact of oil, the environmental vulnerability (sensitivity) and of the environmental damage The detailed descriptions of the effects of the different investigated scenarios are collected in main chapters for each sub-region These chapters shall provide the basis for the sub-regional working groups that shall elaborate lists of needed capacities as well as corresponding investment plans for their respective subregion The effect of the existing response measures as well as navigational aids are illustrated in a separate chapter in order to compare the effect of the existing measures with the potential of future improvements with the scenarios investigated in this project Finally, a special chapter is added that describes the recovery rates achieved in the model compared to international findings The recovery rates experienced in selected major incidents in the Baltic Sea are added in order to set the findings into area specific perspective In order to describe the risk for major oil spills in the Baltic Sea, the Baltic Sea is divided into 6 sub-regions where co-operation among the countries is of high importance, see the map of sub-region in Figure 1-1 O:\A005000\A005032\3_Pdoc\DOC\Deliverables-reports\322 Risk model results 11docx

7 5 Figure 1-1 Map of sub-regions for co-ordinated oil spill response in the Baltic Sea The investigations give a clear result that the threat from oil spills measured as a) risk for accidental spill of oil, b) amount of oil that is expected to reach the coast and c) the expected environmental damage, varies the Baltic Sea for the situation in the year 2020, see Figure 1-2 Here it is seen the expected amount of spilt oil increases from the inner part of the Baltic Sea (SR1) towards the outer part towards the North Sea (SR6) The amount of oil on coast follows largely the same tendency The amount of environmental damage, seem to be fairly constant throughout the Baltic Sea with a maximum in the vulnerable Gulf of Bothnia (SR1) O:\A005000\A005032\3_Pdoc\DOC\Deliverables-reports\322 Risk model results 11docx

8 6 Figure 1-2 Comparison of amount of spilt oil, oil on coast and environmental damage for each sub-region The effect of the measures that already are in place is compared with the potential additional improvements and illustrated in Figure 1-3 It is seen that measures with substantial effect are in place in the different sub-regions, but it is also evident that the scenarios investigated in this project represent significant improvement in regard to reduction of oil accidentally spilt in the Baltic Sea Figure 1-3 Improvements with regard to spilt oil and increased recovery Comparison between the effect of existing and futures measures for each subregion (SR) of the Baltic Sea In absolute terms, the largest improvements with regard to spilt oil and recovery can be achieved in sub-regions 6, 5 and 3 O:\A005000\A005032\3_Pdoc\DOC\Deliverables-reports\322 Risk model results 11docx

9 7 In relative terms the potential for future improvements can be compared with the improvements of the existing measures This has been carried out for each sub-region in Figure 1-4 Here it is seen that the relative largest increase can be achieved in sub-regions 3, 1 and 5, Figure 1-4 Relative potential improvement in the different sub-regions of the Baltic Sea The improvements determined above are based on technical improvements regarding increased recovery capacity and also regarding increased navigational safety to avoid accidents The technical improvements are selected by the Project Partners and transformed into so-called model scenarios For each scenario the effects are modelled and compared with a reference situation This way a quantitative difference is determined and the scenarios can be ranked with respect to their efficiency and later also with respect to their cost/environmental benefit ratio Due to the different traffic and risk profiles in the different sub-regions the scenarios also are of different efficiency in the different sub-regions This means that the general picture for the entire Baltic Sea is not necessary the same as for each sub-region It is found that sub-region 1 (Gulf of Bothnia) and sub-region 4 (South-East Baltic Sea) are similar with respect to their ship traffic: low traffic intensities and little oil transport gives low risk levels Here, the most viable improvement solutions comprise increase response capacities, eg vessels, booms and skimmers Sub-region2 (Gulf of Finland) is characterised by high ship traffic and also large oil transportation Due to the highly developed traffic control systems and the high standard of response capacities, the risk level also is relatively low Viable improvement solutions comprise increased response capacities O:\A005000\A005032\3_Pdoc\DOC\Deliverables-reports\322 Risk model results 11docx

10 8 Sub-regions 3 (Baltic Proper), 5 (South-West Baltic Sea) and 6 (Belt Sea and Kattegat) are characterised by high traffic intensities and large oil transportation The risk level is high Viable improvement solution comprise first of all traffic control options, but also increased recovery capacity options (eg increase visibility during night) have effect Remarks and comments from experts of the BRISK-RU project are adopted in the present analysis The final remarks and adoptions are referred to in the appendix An independent study for the Polish Marine Areas was carried out in order to compare selected outcomes from the BRISK project with results from an existing Polish methodology applied on conditions comparable to the BRISK project The results are found to be very similar and it is concluded that the studies confirm each others, see Appendix D O:\A005000\A005032\3_Pdoc\DOC\Deliverables-reports\322 Risk model results 11docx

11 9 2 Conclusion Based on the preliminary results presented in this document, the following indications of the risk picture are proposed The list of indications is meant as subject for discussion and may be further elaborated and expanded 1 The risk of oil pollution is highest in sub-region 5 and sub-region 6 2 The expected average spill amounts vary about a factor 10 between the sub-region with the largest and the smallest spill, respectively 3 In the period from 2008/9 until 2020 the increase in traffic and hence the increase in risk will be counteracted by the introduction of navigational aids such as emergency towing, ECDIS, bridge control, or escort towing 4 It is observed that magnitude and distribution of scenario results are different between sub-regions Therefore, sub-regional solutions are required 5 For the entire Baltic Sea the results indicate that the implementation of additional VTS will have a high degree of effect on spill reduction 6 Furthermore, the results indicate that implementation of double hull at bunker tanks will have a high degree of effect on oil spills in the subregion 1 and sub-region 4 7 The "night-visibility" scenario increases the recovery rate and implementation of such night-visibility-increasing devices may be a viable measure O:\A005000\A005032\3_Pdoc\DOC\Deliverables-reports\322 Risk model results 11docx

12 10 3 Introduction 31 BRISK Project setup The project is defined in response to an increased concern about accidents and environmental damage in the Baltic Sea due to the significant increase of ship traffic, particularly the oil tanker traffic Major oil spills can affect the economy of several countries and are hence a trans-national problem The increased risk of oil spills is of great concern in the whole Baltic Sea region The objective of the project is to identify specific proposals for increased cooperation The project will result in increased preparedness of authorities to respond to medium size oil spills and enhanced sub-regional co-operation The network of responsible persons will be further developed The project will promote building partnerships and co-operations among trans-national, national and regional authorities that are responsible for emergency and response operations in the Baltic Sea The BRISK project is partly financed by EU s Baltic Sea Regional Programme with 33 million EUR for the period 2009 to 2012The co-financing varies between 15 % and 25 %, depending on the home country of Project Partner The project partnership consists of the national authorities responsible for oil spill preparedness around the Baltic Sea together with HELCOM The countries involved are: DK, SE, FI, EE, LT, LV, PL, DE, plus HELCOM Russia in involved indirectly through the BRISK-RU project, which is financed by the Nordic Council of Ministers with EUR A list of the contracting authorities and the contact persons involved is given in the appendix The project activities are divided into the following 6 Work Packages (WP): WP1: Management, responsible: LP (Lead Partner, Denmark) WP2: Communication and information, responsible HELCOM WP3: Risk assessment: Common methodology, unified data collection, common risk model, common assessment of risk of pollution and impact, Identification of additional response resources needed, resp LP O:\A005000\A005032\3_Pdoc\DOC\Deliverables-reports\322 Risk model results 11docx

14 12 32 The risk model result document The report shall serve as basis for the further work on identification of needed resources and corresponding investment plans The present document presents the overall risk picture for the entire Baltic Sea In the present project the Baltic Sea is divided into six sub-regions, see Figure 6-1 The risk parameters are determined for each of these sub-regions as well as for the entire Baltic Sea 33 Method The principle of the applied method is that all processes of relevance for the occurrence of spills and environmental damage are described and connected in a system of modules, so that the consequence of changed input parameters will result in a measurable change for oil impact and damage to the environment The result parameters include risk for spills, risk for damage and the amount of beached oil (oil on coastline) The parameters are modelled according to a commonly agreed methodology that has been partly developed by the Project Partners of BRISK and BRISK-RU projects See project document " Method Note" 34 Scenarios It is the objective to investigate the consequences of different potential scenarios in the future, ie the year 2020 These scenarios are described in terms of different new input parameters to the model The project team has discussed and decided what scenarios shall be investigated and has developed corresponding input parameters for the model See project document "321 Model Scenario Report" In all, 5 scenarios for different response capacities are defined Further, 7 additional scenarios are selected describing alternative measures for avoiding accidents For reference and comparison, a scenario for the traffic in the year 2020 is defined that comprises the traffic for 2020 as given in a traffic prognosis It also includes the response capacities on the same level as at present and it includes navigational aids for avoiding accidents that are decided upon and will be implemented before 2020 In order to describe the effect of the existing response capacity and the navigational aids two additional reference scenarios are defined The list of scenarios is given in Table 3-2 below Table 3-2 List of scenarios O:\A005000\A005032\3_Pdoc\DOC\Deliverables-reports\322 Risk model results 11docx

24 22 face, the fate and weathering processes as well as the recovery of oil by response vessels Oil that drifts on shore is considered as oil on coats and not on the se surface anymore The oil on the sea surface from a specific spill will cover a specific area with a specific thickness for a certain period of time The thickness of the specific spill is evenly distributed over the entire re-currency period of the specific spill volume This gives the average thickness over time for this specific spill volume The contributions for all spill volumes are integrated to an integrated thickness The theoretical thickness represents a statement on the distribution of the general risk for oil per square kilometre 441 All spills The oil impacts from all spill size classes are shown in Figure 4-6 below The figure describes the long term average oil impact given in grams oil per km 2 O:\A005000\A005032\3_Pdoc\DOC\Deliverables-reports\322 Risk model results 11docx

28 26 Impact events per million years Figure 4-9 Distribution of impact from spills of HNS The colour code indicates how many times per million years the specific 2 km x 2 km grid cell is affected by accidental release of HNS Contrary to oil spills, which will stay at the water surface and follow the current and wind drift, the chemicals will mix in the water column The drift will be dominated by the currents and to a lesser extend by wind action Furthermore, no effect from recovery can be included, since recovery not is possible with the known technologies A comparison between impact from oil and impact from chemicals was based on the assumption that an oil film of 1/10 mm is considered as an impact Therefore, it is found that the likelihood of impact from oil is approx 10 5 to 10 7 times larger than from soluble HNS Although the uncertainty regime is large, O:\A005000\A005032\3_Pdoc\DOC\Deliverables-reports\322 Risk model results 11docx

29 27 it is evident that the likelihood of impact from HNS can be considered to be orders of magnitude smaller It is seen from Figure 4-9 that the distribution of risk for impact from chemicals mainly follows the ship traffic routes This indicates that the chemical tankers are distributed along the general traffic pattern 45 Existing distribution of environmental vulnerability Environmental vulnerability, also called sensitivity, to oil spills is determined based on the methodology agreed among the Project Partners and the data supplied by the Project Partners The environmental vulnerability is determined for each of the four seasons and are given below The detailed description of the definitions and methodologies applied to obtain the environmental vulnerability to oil spills is given in the vulnerability report no 3133 It is emphasised that the maps of sensitivity parameters and for the resulting seasonal vulnerability maps are prepared according to the specific objectives of BRISK project That means that the requests to the maps regarding resolution, data quality, background documentation etc are common for the entire Baltic Sea Therefore, the maps provide basis for comparison on a Baltic Sea wide scale For local comparisons within a minor scale, other maps with higher resolution and possibly also with other parameters should be use This is valid for instance for the Russian part of the Gulf of Finland O:\A005000\A005032\3_Pdoc\DOC\Deliverables-reports\322 Risk model results 11docx

37 Environmental damage from spills of soluble hazardous and noxious substances The environmental damage due to impact from soluble, hazardous and noxious substances (HNS) is based on the impact from Figure 4-9 and the environmental vulnerabilities as determined in chapter 45 The resulting distribution of the environmental damage index is given in Figure 4-17 below Damage (non dimensional index) Figure 4-17 Distribution of the long term average environmental damage due to accidental spills of HNS It is seen from Figure 4-17 that the damage due to HNS is distributed mainly along the coast line and in shallow areas O:\A005000\A005032\3_Pdoc\DOC\Deliverables-reports\322 Risk model results 11docx

38 36 The likelihood of impact from HNS is orders of magnitude smaller compared to the likelihood of oil impacts Furthermore, a spill of HNS is practically impossible to recover - often, the only form of possible response is to stay out of the impact zone The effect of navigational aids to reduce the risk of accidents will have a similar positive effect for HNS as for oil Contrarily, the scenarios for increased recovery capacity will not have a similar effect Therefore, no additional response scenarios are modelled for HNS impact O:\A005000\A005032\3_Pdoc\DOC\Deliverables-reports\322 Risk model results 11docx

39 37 5 Scenario results for the Baltic Sea 51 Effect parameters The effects of the scenarios are measured in terms of three parameters: Oil on water, oil reaching the coast and environmental damage 511 Oil on water "Oil on water" is measured in tonnes of oil per year per sub-region This parameter describes the amount of oil spilt due to accidents and includes the effect of all spill classes with their respective return period The expected situation for the year 2020 in case no additional measures are introduced and the existing level is maintained is illustrated for the amount of spilled oil in Figure 5-1 Example: A 100 year event of 100 tonnes will give an annual impact of 1 ton, a 5 year event of 10 tonnes will give an annual impact of 2 tonnes A one (1) year event of 0,5 tonnes will give a corresponding annual impact of 0,5 tonnes All spills together will hence give an annual impact of 3,5 tonnes This can also be expressed as 350 tonnes per 1000 years, which gives the same measure on another time scale These sum of all spills considered (in the example it was 3,5 tonnes) are to be considered as a measure of the impact of oil from all spills suited to compare with other regions O:\A005000\A005032\3_Pdoc\DOC\Deliverables-reports\322 Risk model results 11docx

45 43 tailed results that 2-3 scenarios dominate the effect of all scenarios This implies that most of the effect can be achieved by few measures The figures in Figure 5-4 to Figure 5-6 show the absolute magnitude of the risks In order to describe the potentials in relative terms the Figure 5-7 is prepared It shows that the relative improvements (light blue bars in Figure 5-4 to Figure 5-6 represent a potential of about 25% The improvement for environmental damage seems to be larger than the improvement on spilt oil Figure 5-7 Relative potential for risk reduction for each sub-region including all scenarios It is seen that the highest improvement can be found in sub-region 3 This area does not include many response vessels close to the hot spots and the hotspots are a result of the tanker route that is only about 10 years old Further, it is seen the sub-region 2 comprises a relatively small amount of risk and a relatively small effect of the scenarios investigated The ship traffic and the tanker traffic in this region are fairly dense, but the existing navigational aids and the high level of existing response capacities reduce the risk considerably Other scenarios, not included in the present study, may have more effect 53 Response scenarios This chapter comprises the results for the response capacity scenarios 4-1 to 4-5, earlier shown in Table 3-2 and repeated in Table 5-1 below for clarity reason: Table 5-1 Overview of response scenarios traffic 2020 NAVA Re-allocation of ex- O:\A005000\A005032\3_Pdoc\DOC\Deliverables-reports\322 Risk model results 11docx
