We discuss a case of oil pollution from a moving ship detected in a Sentinel-1A radar image on 23 July 2016 in the southeastern part of the Baltic Sea. The use of the operational numerical model Seatrack Web (SMHI, HELCOM) with the integrated Automatic Identification System of ships (AIS) enabled to reliably establish the ship from which the discharge has occurred. AIS system showed that the ship had sailed from Gdynia (Poland) to open sea deliberately to discharge the oily water. The trajectory of the ship movement and the oil spill (64.97 km in length) almost coincided, moreover the position of the ship in radar image corresponded exactly to its coordinates in the AIS system. After the discharge, on the way back the ship made several straight tacks and returned to Gdynia.
Keywords: Baltic Sea, satellite monitoring, radar imagery, oil pollution, oil discharge from a ship, Seatrack Web model, AIS
