The area is a key navigation corridor for marine transport from Europe and the Near East to countries like China and Japan, while Singapore itself is one of the worlds largest navigational and industrial hubs. Improved forecasting of the regions’ water levels and currents, in particular the occurrence of non-tidal anomalies, is therefore of great economic value. http://www.deltares.nl/en/news/news-item/item/12204/must-have-boxhttp://www.deltares.comhttp://www.deltares.nl/en/news/news-item/item/12204/must-have-boxTue, 08 Feb 2011 00:00:00 GMTShips active on the continental shelf use data supplied by the Dutch Ministry of Defence's Hydrographic Service.

Over the last few days at Deltares a lot of work has gone into setting up a simulation which can be used to predict how the oil will spread out over the course of time in the area. This is a first test in order to see if our predictions agree with observational data (for example, from satellites). If this is the case, then the models could be very useful aids for giving an insight into the outcome of proposed measures (spraying with dispersal agents, burning off, mechanical clearance, oil booms, etc). After all it could last weeks or even months until the leaking oil source is closed off.http://www.deltares.nl/en/news/news-item/item/11616/first-results-of-predictions-for-the-oil-disaster-in-the-gulf-of-mexicohttp://www.deltares.comhttp://www.deltares.nl/en/news/news-item/item/11616/first-results-of-predictions-for-the-oil-disaster-in-the-gulf-of-mexicoTue, 18 May 2010 00:00:00 GMTA new version of the UNIBEST-CL+ coastline model (version 7) is available now.
