Boom
Stand Off Unit
The Boom Stand Off is a three legged device which fits to the hull of
a ship or barge for the purpose of holding any standard model oil containment
boom away from the hull of the moored vessel. The Boom Stand Off rises
or falls with the tide as it affects the boomed off vessel.
The
legs of the Boom Stand Off are aluminum tubing, 6 ft. long, with 6
inches of vinyl covered foam for buoyancy. Each of the three boom legs
is fitted with an aluminum "V" type fitting. Since all three legs of the
Boom Stand Off are identical, the device can be used with two (2) of the
"V" type fittings in contact with the hull and one (1) fitting
in contact with the boom; or two(2) fittings against the boom and one
(1) fitting in contact with the hull. The method for positioning the Boom
Stand Off is a matter of "on site" application. All "V" type
fittings contain a PVC belting rub pad to eliminate wear to the oil containment
boom fabric or to the vessel hull.
Oil
spillage or seepage from the boomed off moored vessel can be easily removed
for disposal without danger of contamination to the surrounding environment.
