Abstract
An integrated oil spill modelling system was set up for I/S Sjaellandske Kraftvaerker (SK Power). The purpose of the project was to carry out a risk assessment for accidents during transport of Orimulsion 400 and Heavy Fuel Oil (HFO) to the Asnaes Power Plant and a subsequent assessment of the environmental effects. The project dealt with oil spill modelling and assessment of environmental risks to the aquatic ecosystem, to seabirds and to the coastal environment. Two fuel products were considered, Orimulsion 400 and Heavy Fuel Oil (HFO), with the purpose of comparing the environmental risk associated with the transportation through Danish waters to the Asnaes Power Plant in Kalundborg Fjord. Two spill positions in the northern part of the Great Belt we
