Cover Story: Increasing Arctic exploitation activity has intensified maritime traffic in the Barents Sea. Due to the sparse population and insufficient oil spill response infrastructure on the extensive shoreline, it is necessary to address the possibility of offshore accidents and study hazards to the local environment and its resources. This research provides simulations of surface oil spills in the southeast of the Barents Sea. The spill site is located near ecologically and economically important areas and lies within busy maritime routes. The study shows probable seasonal spill trajectories over a 30-year time span. In addition to the discussion of likely impacts on local marine ecosystems, the applicable oil spill response tools are estimated, and favorable shipping seasons are suggested. View this paper
