MarCast delivers validated oil spill and oil pollution modelling — predicting where spilled hydrocarbons will drift, how they weather and which shorelines are at risk — fast enough to act on in real time, accurate enough to defend in a report.
Forecast where oil will travel under wind, current and tide so responders can position resources and protect sensitive sites.
Model evaporation, emulsification, natural dispersion and how the oil changes over time on and below the surface.
Predict which coastlines, habitats and assets are exposed, and when, to prioritise protection and clean-up.
Set up a scenario in minutes during a live incident and update the forecast as conditions change.
Build oil spill contingency plans, EIAs and safety cases on robust, repeatable modelling.
Export maps and reports for responders, regulators and stakeholders.
Oil spill modelling uses ocean current, wind and tidal data to predict how spilled oil will drift, disperse, weather and reach shorelines, supporting both emergency response and contingency planning.
Because the modelling is built to be intuitive, a scenario can be set up and run in minutes rather than waiting days for a specialist turnaround.
Yes. Modelling covers trajectory and drift alongside weathering processes such as evaporation, emulsification and natural dispersion.
Both — run validated models yourself through cloud-based software, or commission our team to deliver the study for you using the same validated engine.
