Abstract

Coastal areas have economical, archaeological, cultural, economic and environmental significance. During the last decades, a rapid development of recreation and other tourism activities has been noticed. However, these coastal areas are often visited by oil tankers for transportation purposes; this paper considers risk analysis by using index. Each index and methodology are presented in detail. This analysis provides a mathematical tool to determine oil pollution risks that lead to handle with marine environment and oil pollution prevention.
