ABSTRACT:
A system and method are provided for containing a contaminant in the vicinity of a water vehicle. The system comprises a barrier apparatus detachably coupled to the vehicle for operating in a deployed mode to erect a barrier at a perimeter around the vehicle to contain the contaminant, and a deploying subsystem operatively coupled to the barrier apparatus and to the vehicle for transporting the barrier apparatus from the vehicle to the perimeter during the deployed mode. The method comprises storing a barrier apparatus on the vehicle during a stored mode, transporting the barrier apparatus from the vehicle to a perimeter around and spaced from the vehicle during a deployed mode, and erecting a barrier at the perimeter to contain the contaminant.
