Description
The Spillmaster Marine Boom is purpose-built for containing oil, fuel, and hydrocarbon spills on open water, harbours, drains, and marinas. Engineered from UV-stabilized PVC with internal foam flotation and a weighted chain ballast, this floating containment boom creates a stable, surface-level barrier that traps floating hydrocarbons for rapid recovery. Additionally, this heavy-duty floating barrier is widely used across commercial ports, marinas, stormwater channels, fuel docks, and vessel servicing yards. It suits port authorities, marine emergency response teams, council waterway managers, and site supervisors who require an immediate, durable line of defense against aquatic oil pollution.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Spillmaster Marine Boom and how does it work?
The Marine Boom is a floating oil containment barrier designed for use on water. It uses internal foam floats for surface buoyancy and a bottom chain ballast to remain upright in moving water, trapping floating oil and fuel for easy skimming and recovery.
Where is the Marine Boom commonly used?
It is ideal for ports, harbours, marinas, stormwater outlets, canals, fuel docks, vessel repair facilities, and industrial sites located adjacent to waterways.
Can multiple Marine Booms be connected together?
Yes. Marine Booms feature heavy-duty end connectors that allow multiple sections to be linked together to create continuous, customized barrier runs across wide waterways or around large vessels.

Emergency Spill Response: The 5 C’s Guide
- CONTROL the Source & Risk: Ensure appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) is donned before approaching any hazardous release. If safe to do so, immediately mitigate the source by closing valves, uprighting damaged containers, or applying emergency plugging to stop further flow.
- CONTAIN the Spread: Deploy appropriate containment barriers, socks, or bunding around the perimeter of the spill to prevent fluid migration. Prioritise blocking access to stormwater drains, unsealed ground, and pedestrian thoroughfares.
- COMMUNICATE the Hazard: Alert nearby personnel, restrict site access around the affected zone, and notify your WHS supervisor or site emergency warden in accordance with facility safety protocols.
- CLEAN UP the Liquid: Apply matching loose absorbents, pads, or pillows directly onto the pooled liquid to capture, bind, and neutralize residues. Safely sweep up saturated materials and transfer all contaminated waste into certified disposal bags for secure handling.
- CHECK & Restock: Inspect the area thoroughly to ensure no residual hazards or slip risks remain. Seal and dispose of waste in compliance with local environmental regulations, and immediately restock equipment to maintain full operational readiness.
