Booms
Booms may be improvised, manufactured and also have variable dimensions. They will be subjected to the marine currents, the direction and velocity of the wind, height and frequency of the waves as well as different depth.

There primary uses are for deflection, collection and protection. Depending on the type of the hydrocarbon derivative, such as naphtha and gasoline that are very volatile and have low flash points, we may opt to simply deflect from the risk of explosion or protect sensitive areas while it evaporates.

The containment booms are used to accumulate the oil and prevent it from spreading, facilitating its removal. A well deployed boom is the first step towards the success of an operation. The installation and the maintenance of booms require well trained personnel.

It is obvious that the efficiency of a designed boom is much better, but the first response is to try to stop the oil spreading by using anything that may be at hand. If at the moment of an oil spill, the crew does not have resources available for the response it, it is worthwhile to put together planks, foliage, screens and bags of sand or gravel.

The booms should generally be the first response equipment to arrive at an oil spill and there efficient deployment is the first job to be done then the skimmers and tanks are deployed.

Booms come in many shapes, sizes and are made from different types of materials, according to their use.

The persons responsible for the selection and use of the booms should understand their functions, and know exactly where each type of boom is most adequate. They should also understand the prevailing weather conditions, durability, forms of storage, transportation and the capacity for containment.

Operations with booms require knowledge of boat handling, use of anchors, buoys and ancillary materials. Some systems have hydraulic driven reels, so we have hoses and ropes on the ground these are all potential hazards and should be stowed correctly so the job can be done safely.

All ropes should be coiled or laid in a manner that know one gets caught in them. Everyone is responsible for the safety of the others in the team.

The effective capacity for response to oil spills is a combination of three principal factors: Speed and efficiency of mustering the service crew; Quantity, availability and applicability of the equipment for the response action. Quantity and availability of personnel trained to do the work.
The Canadian Shipping act establishes guidelines for planning equipment requirements for response.

The containment boom formula:

B = 1.25 x H

B = the amount of boom in meters required to contain the free floating oil.

H = The amount of oil spilled in m3

Based on this formula for a spill of 1000m3 B = 1.25 x 1000 = 1250 meters of boom.

This is a guide for planning purposes to see the minimum amount of boom necessary, not as some people think the correct amount required.

There are so many variables in reality, e.g. type of oil (heavy or light) time to respond, wind and current speed and direction, wave period and frequency. All of these things make the use of a formula for an effective response useless.

Bearing in mind that dependent on the type of oil involved 100m3 of fresh black crude oil can cover an area of 1km2 then 1000m3 could cover an area of 10km2 in a few hours. On the other hand, heavy fuel oil tends stay close to the spill site and not spread to the same extent.

Offshore boom usually comes in 250m or 300m lengths so at best this is 5 booms. When used in U or J configurations the vessels will be a maximum of 100 meters apart therefore these 5 systems will have 500m of boom encountering the oil.
Over the years minimum guidelines have been made for the construction of booms, for the weigh of ballast and the strength of materials used for different situations here are three important ones;
