Abstract

A probabilistic model for calculating oil spill volume in sea tanker accidents is presented. Accidents are specified as either collisions or groundings. Based on existing accident data, damage size is estimated given an accident. Using damage size a probability of rupture is calculated. Finally, outflow volume is determined.
