The northern shores of the Strait of Hormuz constitute one of the most diverse shorelines in the Persian Gulf, characterized by both utility and environmental richness. Situated in the Qeshm channel, which hosts the largest mangrove habitat, major industries, and commercial port, these shores are subject to the occurrence of oil spills, posing potential substantial harm. This study employs General NOAA Operational Modeling Environment (GNOME) and numerical modeling to assess the potential risks to shorelines from hypothetical oil spills, considering the distinctive features of the shores and their environmental sensitivity. The results indicate that high-risk levels are not excessively prevalent overall and are confined to approximately 24 km. The shape of the channel and hydrodynamic conditions highlight the eastern sector of the Bandar Abbas urban area as particularly susceptible to oil spill entrapment. The findings indicate that high-risk areas are predominantly located away from industrial-oil shores and primarily consist of muddy shores. Therefore, internal strategies of Oil Spill Contingency Plan (OSCP) of companies are deemed insufficient and necessitate comprehensive planning initiatives.
霍尔木兹海峡北岸是波斯湾最多样化的海岸线之一，兼具实用性和环境丰富性。这些海岸位于格什姆海峡，这里拥有最大的红树林栖息地、主要产业和商业港口，容易发生石油泄漏，造成潜在的重大危害。本研究采用美国国家海洋和大气管理局通用业务建模环境（GNOME）和数值模拟，考虑到海岸的独特特征及其环境敏感性，评估假设石油泄漏对海岸线的潜在风险。结果表明，高风险水平总体上并非过度普遍，且局限于约24公里的范围。海峡的形状和水动力条件突出显示，阿巴斯港市区东部特别容易发生石油泄漏滞留。研究结果表明，高风险区域主要远离工业石油海岸，主要由泥质海岸组成。因此，各公司的溢油应急计划（OSCP）内部策略被认为是不够的，需要全面的规划举措。
