Preventive containment boom
Containment booms positioned around the ship during operations with spill risk.
About the service
Preventive booming gets ahead of the risk: before bunkering, oil transfer or repair operations, we position containment booms around the ship, forming a perimeter that stops any spill from spreading on the water.
Our launches deploy, tow and anchor the booms, stand by throughout the operation window and recover the boom at the end, in compliance with the environmental requirements of the terminal and regulatory agencies.
