 The main purpose of this wiki is to exchange and disseminate information and data from the various demonstration experiments performed in the fall of 2007 and winter of 2008. These demonstrations are carried out as part of WorkPackage 12.3 of the Mersea Integrated Project. The purpose of the demonstrations is to show the benefits of using Mersea ocean forecast data in an important maritime security application, in this case oil spill fate forecasting.  The main purpose of this wiki is to exchange and disseminate information and data from the various demonstration experiments performed in the fall of 2007 and winter of 2008.

-In connection with loading oil from the Statfjord A loading buoy onto a tanker, raw oil was accidentally leaked into the sea on the morning of 12 December 2008. A large diameter loading hose ruptured and released approximately 4000 cubic meters of raw oil in the course of about 1 hour.+In connection with loading oil from the Statfjord A loading buoy onto a tanker, raw oil was accidentally leaked into the sea on the morning of 12 December 2008. A large diameter loading hose ruptured and released approximately 4000 cubic meters of raw oil in the course of about 1 hour. The Statfjord A loading buoy is operated by StatoilHydro AS, who also had the responsibility for remedial action on the oil spill. The Norwegian Coastal Authority (KV) monitored the action in its capacity as the national authority responsible for pollution emergency response.

-Weather conditions in the area were severe. Shortly after the spill was stopped, the Statfjord platform reported wind speed of 45 knots from the south and wave height of about 7 meters, making it impossible to apply cleanup or retention measures on the slick. The heavy seas and wind caused the slick to separate into streaks. By 14 December, the oil slick was reduced to the point that the Norwegian authorities ceased all remedial actions, and by 16 December no oil was detectable on the surface. +Weather conditions in the area were reported as severe. Shortly after the spill was stopped, the Statfjord A platform reported wind speed of 45 knots from the south measured at the flare, and wave height of about 7 meters measured visually. Other observations and numerical weather prediction analyses indicate somewhat lower values. Nonetheless, the wind and sea-state were severe enough to exceed the limits of the cleanup and retention equipment available, so that the oil spill evolved essentially untreated. The heavy seas and wind persisted for the following days, causing the slick to separate into streaks. By 14 December, the oil slick was reduced and dispersed to the point that StatoilHydro and the Norwegian authorities ceased all attempts at remedial action, and by 16 December no oil was detectable on the surface.
