Ivan Čačić cacic @ cirus. dhz.hr Meteorological and Hydrological Service WMO RA VI Workshop on establishing WIS-DCPC / WIGOS Marine Meteorological Centre as a RA VI Sub-Regional Facility for Adriatic Sea Area, Zagreb, 17th May 2012 Need for centralized and comprehensive marine information Example 1 Catastrophic pollution treat of the Adriatic Sea February, 2008, Marine accident. Turkey cargo ship "Und Adriyatik" reported fire 13 nautical miles from Rovinj (Croatian town at the eastern coast of west Adriatic). Ship has contaned 1000 tone oil and unknown content of dangerous substance. Close approach to the ship as well as effecting the fire from the fire plains was not possible because the fire has raised from the interior of the ship. Ship was not sinking but sea streams was slowly pushing it to the eastern coast. Croatian authorities struggled with dilema: to allow the ship to crash at the coast with heavy ecological consequences or to drown the ship still at some distance from the coast. Dilema has been luckelly solved by the ouptups of Aladin model that has has shown in the next 12 hours apearance of strong bura wind (NE wind) with the convincing pushing the cargo ship in the opposite direction at the open sea. In has given the time to take fire under control and finally cancel it.
