This medium weight boom was selected by MSRC for deployment
from storage containers by either VOSS vessels or from beach
locations. The weight of the boom allows it to be stowed manually
with two to three people minimum. The relatively compact size
of the containers makes them transportable to the site by
truck, boat or air. The strength and flexibility of the Mark
7 gives it the ability to follow wave contours, making it
the ideal boom to use in exposed shoreline waters where its
high freeboard and deep skirt are particularly effective against
severe wave action. It can also be connected to other types
of boom, such as the Intertidal boom. This configuration establishes
a complete boom system to provide protective coverage around
environmentally sensitive areas or marinas.
