Allocation of Professional Oil Recovery Ships Based on the Center of Gravity Method

Article Preview

Abstract:

Professional oil recovery ships are large oil response equipment which can be shared by several terminal owners in a region in order to save money and energy. The locations where the professional oil recovery ships be placed are directly related to the time they arrive at the oil spill accident spots. This paper aims at finding appropriate locations for professional oil recovery ships to minimize time of reaching the destination by considering the oil spill risk of the terminals and the channels. The center of gravity method is used in this paper when determining the locations of the professional oil recovery ships.
