I just talked with Wiley at CRUCIAL, Inc http://www.crucialinc.com/ and for about $100,000 it would be possible.

A drop in the bucket in comparison to the millions $$$ for an environmental clean-up. The ship owners need to figure this in the cost with the million it cost to build a vessel at the shipyard

Good point John, you could just launch the FRB and drive it around the ship but would take a huge locker for the boom.

Looks like after the rash of oil spills recently the shipping industry needs to institute a proactive stance in mitigating spills.

For example carrying oil booms on the vessel in a spill response locker on a reel. A boom the length of the vessel would be an added expense but would assist in rapidly containing the spill until the skimmer clean-up vessels arrive.

Such a spill response system under ideal weather conditions like the Cosco Busan incident would of been ideal.
