ABSTRACT:
A system for containing spillage from a tanker at a moorage. The system in its deflated stated state remains submerged so as not to obstruct the passage of a vessel thereover. Once a vessel is moored in place thereover, the perimeter boom is inflated to bring the boom to the surface to surround the entire ship. A liner continguously attached to the boom extends downwardly to form impermeable walls and a floor below the tanker. The system is routinely deployed prior to any on-loading or off-loading operation when spills are most likely to occur. Deflation of the boom upon completion of the operation causes the entire system to once again assume its submerged state.
