    The Weir Boom is a self-contained oil containment and recovery system deployed from a hydraulic reel. It uses a durable neoprene boom with integrated weirs to corral and skim oil from the water surface into a discharge tube. The boom is highly effective in heavy seas due to its wave-following design and ability to operate without deck cranes. The system recovers a large volume of up to 210 cubic meters of oil per hour, making it suitable for large spills.
