generated by the boom will be transferred through the cables
and guided to the mooring lines. We find three important
recommendations, which may strongly influence the
final design, feasibility and costs:
a) To investigate the installation method
b) To investigate the dynamic behavior in extreme
weather and wave conditions and, if necessary,
to investigate an abandonment and recovery system of
the floating boom concept.
c) To investigate the dynamic behavior of the floating
boom either by scale or computer models.’’
