Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to examine some important aspects of oil spill risk as they relate to the strategic problem of providing adequate response capability to cope with oil spills that may occur in a certain geographical area. The paper explains the rationale of the methodology developed and discusses an illustrative application in the U.S. New England region.
