The Norwegian Clean Seas Association for Operating Companies (NOFO) conducted oil-on-water exercises in 2018 to evaluate new oil spill response technologies, including advanced radar systems. This study assesses radar performance based on data collected during these exercises, focusing on the potential of radar technology to enhance Vessel Traffic Services (VTS) systems. By analysing radar data from various simulated oil spill scenarios, key strengths, weaknesses, and areas for improvement were identified. Findings highlight the benefits of integrating radar technology into VTS for improved oil spill detection, tracking, and response. This includes recommendations for expanding VTS system features to leverage radar data more effectively, such as developing algorithms for automated oil spill detection and implementing real-time data fusion techniques. The study demonstrates the potential of radar- enhanced VTS systems to significantly improve oil spill response capabilities, particularly in challenging conditions.
