ABSTRACT:
A water pollution containment device comprises a number of uniform assemblies joined to adjacent uniform assemblies around the periphery of a liquid cargo carrying vessel such as an oil tanker. The uniform assemblies each include a skirt which is joined to the skirts of the adjacent uniform assemblies, a skirt launching device, a skirt retrieving device and a housing structure for the foregoing. The uniform assemblies may be operated to contain spills around a leaking vessel, to contain spills around a sunken vessel and may be quickly and easily inspected and maintained.
