Abstract
⺠Offshore areas are quantified in terms of the probability of transport of pollution to vulnerable regions. ⺠A method for the identification of the optimum fairway minimising environmental risks is developed. ⺠Measures of gain from the use of an optimum fairway are introduced. ⺠The gain from the use of the optimum fairway is 40% in terms of the probability of coastal pollution. ⺠The use of the optimum fairways almost doubles the typical time during which the released pollution reaches the coast.
