Abstract: The article shows the needs of vessel decommissioning market. Collected data used in the paper consist period of 2014-2019, before the COVID- 19 epidemy starts. To improve health, safety and life of workers as well as environmental protection related to the decommissioning process, which mainly take place in the South Asian shipyards, the concept of Design for Recycling DfR and Hong Kong Convention are brought up into the daylight. Implementing the DfR is to make the whole decommissioning process as simple and cost-effective as possible. The vessel design stage, with selection of building materials and new technologies used, is the area where constant changes and updates are taking place. Making the Honk Kong Convention alive, will put the duty on the ship owners to dismantle their vessels in shipyards, which are authorized by the adequate Administration of State. Methodology/Approach: Data used for analysis were implemented from UNCTAD. Final deductions has been shown in tables and figures. Findings: Ratification of HK Convention is essential to improve protection of the workers involved in decommissioning process and to protect environment. Practical Implications: Analysis presented in the article underline the need of changes in vessel dismantling market. Originality/Value: Collected data are the basement into the future analyses of the whole decommissioning market area.

Title: Analysis of the impact of weather conditions on the effectiveness of oil spill recovery operation in simulated conditions (PISCES II)

Keywords: oil spill simulation, oil pollution characteristics, hydrometeorological conditions, oil pollution behavior

Abstract: The ability to use computer simulation to predict the behavior of oil spills at sea enables better use of available personnel and resources to combat such spills. The use of oil collecting equipment properly selected to suit the conditions is essential for the operation to be effective. Therefore, an attempt is made to verify the influence of weather conditions on the efficiency of oil recovery.Three types of spilled crude oil were simulated. A relevant experiment was conducted on a PISCES II oil spill simulator.

Title: Analysis of the impact of selected hydrometeorological conditions on the accuracy of oil spill simulations on the PISCES II simulator

Keywords: hydrometeorological conditions, oil spill simulation, oil pollution characteristic, oil pollution behawior

Abstract: Computer simulations used for predicting the behavior of oil spills at sea allow optimizing the deployment of oil
spill response personnel and resources, and using the backtracking method to identify the polluter in cases where spills are sighted some time after they occurred. Predicting the direction and speed of oil slick spreading is of fundamental importance. An attempt was made to verify the influence of selected simulation parameters related to hydrometeorological conditions, on the behavior of the resulting oil pollution. Different responses were obtained under the same simulated weather conditions, depending on the type of spilled oil. The experiment was conducted on a PISCES II oil spill simulator.
