Title

Shetland Oil Spill Sensitivity Maps

Abstract

The Shetland oil spill response maps were originally produced under the auspices of SOTEAG over 10 years ago for inclusion in the Sullom Voe Harbour Oil Spill Plan (SVHOSP) and the Shetland Marine Pollution Contingency Plan. The maps are now updated annually to ensure they are fit for purpose. The purpose of the maps is to identify areas that are sensitive in the event of an oil spill and how best to protect them, the maps refer to Shetland only. The maps can only be used to inform oil spill response and SOTEAG reserves copyright and database rights for 18 datasets. There are an additional 6 datasets that whose ownership lies with third parties - these have been manipulated to be specific to oil spill response.
