Abstract: In December 2000, laboratory tests were conducted at Hamburgische Schiffbau Versuchsanstalt (HSVA) to investigate the process of oil spreading in cold waters with broken ice. Oil spreading and floe motion were closely monitored by video cameras and the pictures were analyzed to find how different parameters influence the oil spreading. The following parameters were varied: floe motion, ice concentration, slush concentration and oil type. We focus in particular on the effect of the floe motion.
