Abstract

This paper deals with development of an oil boom computation program (OBC Program) for effective response to oil spill. Currently, programs for showing required minimum quantities of oil skimmers and temporary storage tanks have been developed. However, a program for oil boom has not developed, which causes difficulties in oil spill management. The OBC program was developed using LabVIEW 2010 for solving above problems. The OBC program has following strengths: 1. Both experts and non-experts can calculate required quantities of oil booms, 2. The program can save response time, 3. It can reduce damage to properties and marine environment in proportion to reduced response time.

Key Words: oil boom computation(OBC) program;requirement quantity;response site
