Abstract
A floating-type anti-oil, anti-impact and anti-wave barrier includes means for intercepting a flow of oil floating on the water and diverting the oil in directions at right angles to the original direction of flow, means for mitigating an impact force exerted by a ship or the like, and means for intercepting waves. The barrier comprises a first float formed by serially arranging at regular intervals a plurality of elongated floating boxes in their longitudinal direction, a second float formed exactly in the same manner as the first float and disposed parallel to the first float with opposed side surfaces of the floating boxes forming the first and second floats being located at staggered positions relative to each other. Floatable spacers having shock-absorbing and intercepting functions are interposed between such opposed side surfaces of the floating boxes in the first and second floats chains or ropes moor the respective floating boxes to each other.
