A few days ago, I had the opportunity to conduct an oil spill assessment at a port owned by a state-owned private company. The port is located a considerable distance from the capital city of Riau Province, necessitating an extensive seven-hour journey.

Last week I conducted an oil spill assessment at a port owned by Indonesia's largest palm oil company in South Kalimantan. I admit that this palm oil company is very concerned about the hazards and risks of oil spills.

with a projected increase of 56% in 50 years and 82% in 100 years.

"No need to be afraid of damage, deforestation, oil palm is a tree, it has leaves, right?"
President Prabowo's speech in the plan to open 20 million hectares of land, there are things I want to criticize from his words

It looks like the clouds over Jakarta and its surroundings are being pulled towards the Philippine Tropical Storms

after being sucked by the oil skimmer, the oil is stored or transferred to a temporary container, namely oil temporary storage, it can also use ordinary tank trucks, or by barge, this is an example of oil temporary storage

The next equipment is the oil skimmer, the oil skimmer functions to suck the oil that has been collected by the oil boom, here are pictures of the types of oil skimmers

one of the functions of an oil boom is to collect spilled oil, preventing it from moving and spreading to a wider area of water.

Here the spilled oil is collected with a tool called an oil boom, and collected into oil storage which looks a small barge.

1)Mechanical oil response
in short, spilled oil can be spilled in the waters (seas and rivers) or land, this section I will discuss in the waters only, approximately oil response operations can be summarized in this figure

Here are the classifications from NOAA
Reference:
response.restoration.noaa.gov/oil-and-chem... (5)

The following is the classification based on ITOPF taken from the ITOPF handbook 2011/2012 (4)

Since I have worked in the field of oil spills as a consulting staff, I generally use the definitions from IMO OPRC, ITOPF and NOAA, one of the references from these sources can be seen here, Manual On Oil Pollution, Section IV - Combating Oil Spills p. 13 (3)

How to spot it and avoid it 3)It’s easier to spot a rip current from higher place on the beach such as life guard’s tower

How to spot it and avoid it 1)Rip Current often form where sand bars are near the shore, they occur at breaks or channels in bars 2)You can spot them when waves aren’t breaking, or where there’s foam, seaweed, or discolored water being pulled offshore

Why is it Dangerous?? 1) It can occur even weather and waters are calm 2) It can drag and move your body away up to 100 meters or more towards the sea waters, and it doesn't care who you are, whether you are president or a child, strongman or small man

Rip current speeds as high as 2,4384 m/s have been measured faster than an Olympic swimmer can sprint! This makes rip currents especially dangerous to us as these currents can sweep even the strongest swimmer out to sea.

When waves travel from deep to shallow water, they break near the shoreline and generate longshore currents.
June 22, 2024 at 4:40 AM
According to linear theory of water waves, states that a water waves don’t transport mass

I think everyone familiar with phrase "Dragged by a wave" or "terseret Ombak" if it translated directly into Indonesian Language

But Before we go into the subject, I would like show these three news, related to the subject
