摘要

Improvements in the containment fences against maritime pollution caused by spillage of petroleum products, characterized by the fact that the area of marine surface to be fenced is covered by a succession of flexible tubular bodies, based on waterproof tarpaulin or other analogous material, provided inferiorly with a longitudinal skirt of the same type and provided with ballast at its lower edge to maintain verticality, such bodies constituting respective sections coupled together in the appropriate number in each case, forming a closed arrangement, in which each body preferably comprises a plurality of inflatable chambers that communicate buoyancy to the assembly, so that said bodies and their skirts constitute separating, emerging and submerged elements respectively, which delimit the purse zone.
