ABSTRACT:
An arrangement for containing oil spillage comprises an inflatable boom and suspended in the water therefrom an anti-pollution skirt and/or a deformable tube, cables and a generally horizontal membrane to restrict movement of the boom. The boom may be deployed in an uninflated condition and then inflated from an adjacent buoy. The deformable tube is arranged to pump fluid in response to forces on the cables caused by motion of the water.
