ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for protecting the environment from liquid spills, such as oil, when ocean going vessels become damaged and leak, having a flexible, durable and waterproof material deployed around the vessel to form a double hull type apparatus. Thus, having all vessels, which carry cargo dangerous to the environment, equipped with an apparatus that would automatically surround it if it sprang a leak would help to protect the environment. An apparatus, whereby when not in use is stored inside a protective housing, and when needed, would be powered by power units to pull the protective sheeting around the vessel, sealing the bow and the stern of the vessel, but allowing the propulsion system of the vessel to continue to operate, powering the vessel.
