Abstract
This floating boom comprises a flexible structure forming a barrier equipped with transverse stiffeners to which are secured floats adapted to support the flexible structure in a substantially vertical position in water. Each stiffener forms a buoyant unit with the floats secured thereto. The successive buoyant units are interconnected by an assembly of articulated linking rods longitudinally extending along the upper part of the boom. These longitudinal rods support the flexible structure which forms a barrier.
