This type of boom is flexible as it is made with relatively light PVC or polyurethane-coated fabric. Its floatation chambers are compressed while in storage and are inflated by atmospheric air on deployment through one-way intake valves. The boom is typically deployed in offshore waters and near-shore waters.
