ABSTRACT:
A system carried aboard tankers which upon deployment serves to positively contain oil leaking therefrom. A boot sealingly engages the hull while a buoyant boom supports the periphery of an impermeable liner attached to the boot. A skirt extending from the boom is tethered to the deck of the vessel. The entire system is normally maintained in a compact, folded form spooled up on a storage reel which is positioned on the deck of the tanker.
