With increasing maritime transport, oil spills are a major threat to the North Sea coastal ecosystem. Application of chemical dispersants would be one possible option for combatting a hypothetical oil spill. In a probabilistic setup, the amounts of oil hitting the coast can be compared either with or without assumed application of a chemical dispersant.
