Abstract

The frequency of oil spills in Cilacap coastal area is high enough to cause ecological and economic consequences. Based on data from various sources, during the period 1989-2015, there were 17 cases of oil spills occurred in Cilacap coastal area, 12 were due to tanker accidents and 5 cases due to leaked pipes. Oil spills often result in both environmental damage and social and economic losses. The main objective of this work is to do simulation of an oil spill in Cilacap area under different environmental conditions to facilitate the mitigation for oil spill emergencies at sea by local authorities. To estimate the distribution of oil, referring to the King Fisher case which occurred on 1 April 2000 in Cilacap area, a spill with 2,500 ton of crude oil was simulated by MoTum from January to December. The model approach was done by taking into account the effects of wind, tide, bottom friction, and turbulence. The simulation results reveal that the trajectory of the oil depends on hydrodynamic forces and highly depends on meteorological conditions, such as wind. The simulation results also show that Teluk Penyu area, the eastern part of Nusakambangan Island, and Donan River estuary are area with a high probability of pollution. The mitigation associated with accidental spills can use one or several approaches, i.e., technology, socio-cultural-economic and institutional and stakeholder approaches.
