ABSTRACT:
A floating boom unit having a flexible structure which comprises a water transparent armouring is supported by floats in a substantially vertical position. The armouring includes longitudinal and transverse elements. The longitudinal elements are adapted to withstand substantially the whole of the longitudinal traction loads to which the boom is subjected in service, and a balanced distribution of these longitudinal loads between the different longitudinal elements is assured by resistant transverse elements connected to the longitudinal elements as to maintain a substantially uniform spacing between adjacent longitudinal elements, said armouring being further provided with transverse stiffeners adapted to support the floats.
