An emergency resource allocation model for maritime chemical spill accidents

Abstract

A liquid chemical spill or leakage at sea pollutes the marine environment, damages natural resources, and harms the health of local residents. To date, there has not been much research that has been devoted to this important maritime emergency rescue problem. In this study, we propose a mathematical programming model that considers a single accident site and multiple emergency rescue bases. Various resource constraints, such as volume and weight capacity at the emergency rescue bases, are considered. Rescue funding availability is also integrated into the model. The results from a numerical example show that the model is mathematically valid and practically feasible. The proposed model can be used to provide insightful decision support information to the liquid chemical leakage rescue effort.
