ABSTRACT:
A containment boom has at least a portion of a semi-flexible pipe on which a containment skirt is mounted. The boom is permanently anchored to anchors on the sea bottom. A compressor is connected to pump air into the pipe to render it buoyant, to surround a moored vessel. The boom may be sunk, to permit movement of the vessel by pumping water into the pipe.
