COWI has mapped the Danish waters to determine different kind of risks.

This project covered establishing present and future ship traffic in Danish waters, modeling of probabilities of releases of oil and chemicals from ship accidents and deliberate spills, modeling of spread of oil and chemicals taking into account the effect of the emergency services and modeling of the risk of impact to the environment in the different parts of Danish waters.

The work covered the present situation as well as 2010, 2015 and 2020.
