MarCast models the dispersion, fate and behaviour of hazardous and noxious substances (HNS) and other chemical spills in marine and coastal waters — so responders and planners can define safety zones, assess risk and protect people and the environment.
Model how hazardous and noxious substances spread, dissolve, evaporate or sink depending on their physical and chemical properties.
Forecast how a chemical plume disperses in water and, where relevant, in the air, to inform safety zones.
Assess exposure to responders, the public and marine ecosystems for informed decision-making.
Stand up a chemical spill scenario quickly during an emerging incident.
Underpin chemical spill contingency plans and environmental risk assessments with defensible modelling.
Export results for competent authorities, responders and stakeholders.
HNS modelling predicts the dispersion, fate and behaviour of hazardous and noxious substances spilled at sea — how they spread, dissolve, evaporate or sink — to support response and risk assessment.
Chemical and HNS substances behave very differently from oil depending on their solubility, volatility and density, so the modelling accounts for a wider range of fate and behaviour processes.
Modelling addresses dispersion in the marine environment and, where the substance volatilises, the airborne plume relevant to setting safety zones.
