HIDROMOD has extensive experience in the usage of modelling tools, regarding prevention and risk management associated with spillage of hydrocarbon or other pollutants into the sea. Some reference work, such as the contingency plans’ review of all the TRANSPETRO terminals (PETROBRAS), the National Help Plan for Ships in Distress (PNAND – Portugal) or the hydrocarbon spillage forecast system of the Malacca and Singapore straits, demonstrate HIDROMOD’s high level of competence in this field.

Specific studies of platform blowouts or hydrocarbon loading and unloading operation spillages are also part of HIDROMOD’ s work curriculum.
