2. 1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 RESEARCH BACKGROUND
O’conneli (2006) stated that oil pollution affects on :
Fisheries and aquaculture resources ,
Tourism and,
Costal industries
In this research:
It is essential to predict the oil fate and slick trajectory
Combating strategies need to be set
Through simulation
3. 1.2 PROBLEM STATEMENT
Oil pollution control strategies need to be
developed for each oil fate and slick trajectory
scenario. Since each scenario is unique and
independent, simulation method is preferred.
5. 2. LITERATURE REVIEW
i.
Oil fate; The most important processes are spreading, evaporation, dispersion
viscosity and emulsification (O’connel, 2006c).
ii.
Slick trajectory; When an oil slick is predicted to affect on high sensitive
area, this prediction helps the decision maker significantly to choose the
combating strategies.
iii.
Types of shorelines; according to geographical shape, types of beaches
and to the environmental and socio-economic activities (IPIECA 2008a).
iv.
In-hand equipment and combating strategies; the limitation of spill control
techniques must be taken into consideration in determining the most appropriate
clean up response (Persga, 2009a). All of on-scene commanders are allowed to
take whatever action is appropriate to clean up and/or mitigate the effects of an
oil spill (Ch'ng,1997).

9. 3.2 DETERMINATION OIL SLICK TRAJECTORY
The oil slick trajectory was calculated using slick
trajectory calculator software based on:
Wind effects 3% of its speed in its direction
within specific time
Current affects 100% of its speed in its direction
within the same specific time

The oil spill incident is simulated at area extended from 10 09’ N to
10 21’ N and from 1030 27’ E to 1030 37’ E which cover the area of
international shipping line to shoreline of south west of Johor in
Malaysia. The source of spill is considered from a vessel sailing in
the international shipping line. The spill is 500 m3 crude oil type
Arabian Medium, Amoco at 7 am.

The remained 300 m3 of oil and emulsion reached
next to tidal zone and might be scattered along the
shoreline and went into part of Johor strait.
The recovery of collected oil in the deployed
protection booms areas depend upon instant
findings and ought to be done by using oleophilic
skimmer, Shore and harbour weir skimmer

Protection of the most environmental and economical sensitive areas such
as Tanjung Pelepas Port, Tanjung Bin steam power, most of the mangrove
shoreline up to Puteri Habour was based on prediction of the slick
trajectory.
Large quantity of contaminate was accumulated next to the protection
booms which led to make shoreline clean-up and recovery easier and faster.
45. 5 CONCLUSION
This research simulated an oil fate and slick trajectory predictions for
marine oil pollution control strategies to reach highest environmental and
economical benefit in south east of Johor.
The developed combating strategies flow chart was applied and cover all
the strategies which are used.
The highest sensitive areas in Johor state were nominated to be protected
whenever a significant oil spillage will be happened.
Matrix of equipment, which are suitable of Johor, was listed to deal with
wide range of oil types.
Protection booming configuration to protect the highest sensitive areas was
appointed according to the special geographical area in the south east of
Johor.
