Oil spills in marine environments lead to the emergence of varying physical, chemical, and environmental conditions depending on the source of the spill and the nature of the incident. In particular, spill scenarios resulting from maritime accidents such as ship collisions or groundings possess unique dynamics, each requiring distinct priorities and strategies during the response process. In this context, the complex nature of such incidents necessitates a careful and case-specific approach in selecting appropriate response methods. A range of techniques and technologies are available for responding to oil spills. Among the primary response methods are mechanical recovery systems (e.g., skimmers and floating booms), in-situ burning, reliance on natural degradation processes, and the use of chemical dispersants. This study aims to examine the key factors that determine the viability of dispersants as an effective response method to oil spill incidents. By evaluating both the benefits and potential risks associated with dispersant use, this research seeks to analyze how such chemical response strategies can be applied more effectively and safely in mitigating the impacts of oil spills.
