Update and Extend License of MoTuM for PC Ketapang II Ltd (Petronas Indonesia)
Another great news is that the MoTuM license has been extended for PC Ketapang II Ltd, a Subsidiary of PETRONAS. For every license extended, We provide training on MoTuM, which we provided the training on 16 January 2024. MoTuM is an oil spill model consisting of oil trajectory, oil thickness, probability of oily area in time or percentage, and fates (oil weathering) that is coupled with a 3-dimensional Hydrodynamic Model (MuHydro3D) and integrated into a Graphical Information System (GIS) in Windows System. MoTuM is suitable for oil spill mitigation, contingency plans, oil spill risk assessment, and backtracking oil sources.
On the training day, The participants tried to simulate the hydrodynamic and the oil spill dispersion in the Ketapang area. The participants also tried to present their simulation results (Probability of oily area in time or percentage, trajectory), and they pretended to present the simulation to the combating team or higher-up person since the purpose of the training was not only to be proficient using MoTuM but also to understand and explain the simulation results, which is our goal from this training. The examples of simulation results of MoTuM can be seen (Not Actual Case). After the training, our tradition is to take a photo together using a MoTuM hat
We are also very grateful to Bu Rizqi Avrila Putri for trusting MoTuM as oil spill software in the Emergency Response and Incident Management Team for PC Ketapang II Ltd. Also, without her, the training would not be possible and swift. If you are interested in using our oil spill software product or MoTuM, don't hesitate to contact us or drop the comment below
