Abstract SPILLREC project aims at enhancing competitiveness of European SMEs and RTD organizations in the area of waterborne spill response by innovating on design, computer analysis, materials, and manufacture of spill recovery structures and systems. The project will design, produce and test a new spill response structural system, the SPILLREC System and an Open Source code for multi-physical modelling and simulation of fluid- structure interaction in spill recovery systems, the SPILLREC Application.

The project will design, produce and test a new spill response structural system, the SPILLREC System; and an Open Source code for multi-physical modelling and simulation of fluid-structure interaction in spill recovery systems, the SPILLREC Application. The SPILLREC project will be the outcome of cooperative RTD work between 4 leading European research groups from Germany (FHM) and Spain (CIMNE, UB, AZTI), 4 SMEs from Germany (OPTIMAL, TAO), Spain (BUILDAIR), and the UK (OPEC) , and a harbour organization from Spain (APB). The SMEs will actively exploit both internally and externally the new design and manufacturing technologies for spill recovery.
