Rugged high-strength fire-resistant floating booms, each incorporating a continuous flexible fin suspended at and extending below the surface of a body of water, supported by short floats formed of highly fire-resistant material, such as foamed aluminum blocks, spaced apart longitudinally along the upper edge of the fin to permit flexing and accordion folding of the structure and to provide flexible articulating movement with surface waves; all parts of each spill control boom being formed of highly fire-resistant and high-strength materials substantially impervious to impact, bending or snagging between vessels, docks, pilings and similar structures, and optionally incorporating resilient fender materials protecting the hulls of adjacent vessels and barges as well as docks and pilings from impact damage, while retaining spilled petroleum products or other floating materials discharged from a dockside vessel in the immediate vicinity of the spill, and preventing the movement of such spilled material under docks and other structures.
