Ecocoast was the first manufacturer of the full range of silt curtains in the EMEA region. The Ecobarrier Silt Curtain range is always customized to suit specific conditions and project requirements.
This range of debris booms is the perfect choice for projects of any size. With their durable design and reliable performance, you can trust these booms to protect your project's investments.
If you are looking to ensure full marine protection during an oil spill - trust in our oil boom range to get it done.
Introducing Ecobarrier Foam Containment Booms – your ultimate solution for blocking and capturing large volumes of surface foam during construction.
With these coastal protection containers, you can be sure that environmental concerns are at the forefront of our minds, meeting modern standards for sustainability. The range is designed with both flexibility and durability in mind.
A sustainable mooring solution that supports life below water.
We have developed a simple, effective dewatering solution that has proven its effectiveness in various industries. The dewatering containers are incredibly durable and require minimal maintenance thanks to their superior design features.
These data buoys are designed to collect and transmit real-time environmental, oceanographic and meteorological data for environmental protection, regulatory compliance, public health, research and operations.
Harbor oil booms are heavy-duty and highly durable, designed for permanent installations with minimal maintenance. They use high-tensile materials and rotary moulded, foam-filled floats that provide superior buoyancy and stability in rough waters. Unlike other booms, they do not require bottom ballast to stay upright, making them ideal for long-term deployment in locations like petrochemical shipping terminals, desalination plants and marinas.
Inflatable oil booms are used in emergency situations and protected waters where rapid deployment is critical. They can be stored on boom reels, making them suitable for locations with limited storage space and quick access during oil spill emergencies.
Fence Oil Booms and Inflatable Oil Booms are the options with the quickest response time. They are designed for rapid deployment, and can be transported and installed within minutes to under an hour, depending on site conditions. Their lightweight design and easy connection systems allow for quick assembly by response teams, ensuring immediate containment and minimizing environmental impact during spill emergencies.
Yes. Ecocoast’s Solid Flotation Oil Boom was successfully used in Belgium to combat blue-green algae blooms. However, oil booms are designed specifically for containing oil spills and are most effective for that use. For other pollutants like debris or floating waste, we offer dedicated solutions such as debris booms. Using the right type of boom for each marine problem ensures the best results and maximum environmental protection.
Ecocoast delivers marine protection solutions with a truly global footprint, having completed installations across more than 65 countries. Ecocoast oil booms have been used to protect a wide range of sensitive environmental areas around the world.
Notable projects include the use of Ecocoast oil booms for environmental remediation along Scotland’s River Clyde, where they successfully contained pollutants and protected the river ecosystem. In Belgium, our floating booms have been deployed to control blue-green algal blooms in water reservoirs, helping to maintain water quality for local communities. In the Middle East, Ecocoast solutions have played a key role in protecting sensitive mangrove habitats in Kalba, UAE, as part of major ecotourism and conservation initiatives. These projects demonstrate our expertise in delivering tailored marine protection for critical and sensitive environments around the world.
Oil booms are typically deployed using systems such as Danforth-type anchors and concrete anchors, handled by skilled teams for proper positioning and stability. The selection of anchor type is based on water depth, current, bottom composition and the duration of deployment to ensure the oil boom remains secure and effective.
Oil booms, and beach sealing oil booms specifically, act as floating barriers on the water’s surface, containing and concentrating the oil in one area. By forming a physical barrier between the open sea and the shoreline, they prevent oil from drifting onto beaches, minimizing environmental damage and making cleanup efforts more efficient.
The selection of an oil boom depends on several site-specific factors, including wave height, tidal flow, proximity to the shore or open sea, wind and current conditions, deployment duration (temporary or long-term), and the environmental sensitivity of the area (e.g., mangroves, ports, or beaches). A marine specialist can help choose the most effective solution.
Oil booms are designed to function across a wide range of conditions, but not every boom works in every environment. Lightweight booms are suitable for calm or sheltered waters, while harsher conditions, such as offshore or high-wave environments, require more robust designs with solid flotation, reinforced fabrics and strong anchoring systems.
The Ecobarrier Inflatable Oil Boom is ideal for emergency response in inshore environments. It is stored on reels for rapid deployment and is well-suited for protecting sensitive coastal areas like ports, harbors and mangroves. This boom has been successfully used in real-world emergencies, such as oil spills in Kalba, UAE.
Oil booms are primarily designed for containing and controlling oil spills on water, but they can also be used in some cases to manage issues like toxic algal blooms. However, it is important to note that oil booms are not intended for general debris, trash or other types of marine pollution. For those specific challenges, we offer dedicated solutions such as debris booms, silt curtains and other specialized marine barriers – each engineered for particular environmental problems. This ensures you always have the right boom for your project, maximizing effectiveness and compliance with environmental regulations.
Using the correct boom for the conditions improves containment efficiency, limits the spread of oil, reduces environmental impact and speeds up cleanup operations. A poorly matched boom can fail under local conditions, leading to greater environmental damage and higher response costs.
Yes, our booms are also used to contain and control harmful algal blooms, particularly where chemical treatment is not viable. For example, in Belgium, our booms were successfully deployed to prevent algae from entering water supply, offering an environmentally friendly containment solution.

A Beach Sealing Oil Boom , also called a Shore Sealing Boom, is designed to block oil spills from reaching the shore. Unlike regular floating booms, it has one air-filled tube on top to float and two water-filled tubes below to hold it in place. This special design creates a tight seal between land and water, especially during low tide, making it perfect for protecting beaches and shallow coastal areas.
The EBSB oil boom is ideal for use in calm, shallow water environments, including beaches, shallow water areas and even swamps. Its design allows it to form an effective barrier in these environments, particularly where water meets land and in tidal areas. This makes it ideal for environmental protection projects aiming to prevent oil spills from reaching sensitive shorelines.
The boom is constructed from high-tenacity PVC/TPU fabric, making it extremely durable and flexible. This material choice ensures the boom is resistant to tearing and can withstand tough environmental conditions.
These booms are mainly used to stop oil spills from reaching shallow waters, beaches and swamps in coastal areas. They are particularly useful in areas where traditional containment methods are less effective due to tidal fluctuations.
The boom features rapid deployment capabilities, being air-inflated and easy to deploy. This allows for the quick formation of a seal to contain spills efficiently, making it suitable for emergency response situations.
Yes, it can be combined with other Ecocoast products, marine and engineering services to create a complete solution for protecting the coast and controlling marine pollution.
