ABSTRACT:
A spill containment system for vessels comprises a curtain capable of extending continuously around the entire vessel and having a vertical dimension sufficient to extend from a height above the waterline to a depth below the waterline. The curtain is stored in canisters on or beneath the deck inboard from the hull or rail but capable of being deployed by articulated arms to a position outboard of the ship where the curtain can be deployed into the water to maintain and control a spill from the vessel.
