Application of environmental sensitivity index (ESI) maps of shorelines to coastal oil spills: a case study of Cat Ba Island, Vietnam

Original language description

The transportation of crude diesel oil in Lach Huyen port (Cat Ba Island) in Northeast Vietnam has increased due to industry development. These areas support tankers and other ships, which therefore increases the potential for oil spills from ships's andor tankers's collision. This paper presents the development of a two-dimensional hydrodynamic model for prediction of oil spill trajectories. An oil spill model combining with a GIS supportive software was also established to simulate hydrodynamic flowand the transportation of crude oil trajectories to the environment. Both models were calibrated and validated using field data. The GIS supportive software was applied for mapping the environmental sensitivity index that accounts for digital databases as well as for the abundant biodiversity and coastal geomorphologic features of the shoreline. The simulation results from the hydrodynamic flow model showed that the hydrodynamic flow regime in the study area is complicated due to the inf
