Abstract

The Black Sea is a sea six state countries using export and import. This water area of marine living resources of the sea trade conjunction with heavily benefit from high economic and ecological value. In recent years, the Black Sea, as well as transportation and living resources constituted underground origins and significance. Particularly in the oil exploration activities come to the forefront in this sea. Areas of oil exploration in the Black Sea, north-south transition areas that have intense ship traffic and oil rigs increase the risk of accidents. The ever growing demand for energy in the modern world continues to increase the risks of major oil spills during the lengthy travel of this natural resource along global sea routes. Black Sea is under ever increasing ship traffic and oil rig. In this study to be conducted in these areas, the resulting impact of vessel traffic accidents rigs after spill oil spill in the fields have been identified. Results of simulations of critical areas illustrate that spill at some south of Black Sea coast.
