Project EU-MOP addresses (FP6-2003-Transport-3) Objective 2 “Advanced design and production techniques”, Research Domain 2.5 of the Thematic Priority 6.2 “Sustainable Surface Transport”:
…. Emphasis will be put on clean, cost and energy effective processes, sub-sea robotics and autonomous systems for maintenance and inspection, innovative dismantling and recycling operations including the removal of oil slicks at sea.
Strategic Objectives
© 2005 EU-MOP Consortium
•The goal of EU-MOP project is to introduce an innovative, reliable and advanced oil combating ‘total solution’, thereby enhancing the existing oil confrontation capability and the protection of marine environment
EU-MOP Project Goal

Risk Parameters (ordinal/ranking approach)
• Level of Past Spill Incidents• Level of Tanker Traffic• Basic Traffic Hazards• Tanker Route Diverges or Merges with Traffic Flow• Geographical Hazards of the Area of Interest• Major Port Activities• Major Refinery Activities• Navigation Hazards• Sea State Characteristics• Particularly Sensitive Areas• Level of Response Capacity• Level of Financial and Environmental Impact

• All of the project’s objectives have been fulfilled• Project produced more than its TOR• Several variants have been designed• Model experiments have been conducted• Analyses have been conducted as regards:
Spill statistics and riskVehicle designHydrodynamicsPropulsionRoboticsCost-benefitLogistics (strategic/tactical/operational)Validation/proof of concept
• Concept: promising for further development• Both technically and economy-wise
