Vessel Arrest
Boom
Static barrier installation — a maritime security barrier that entangles a vessel's propellers for a controlled stop. Creates a clear demarcation line and a less-than-lethal way to prevent unauthorised vessels from penetrating water-based security zones.
Static barrier installation
The Vessel Arrest Boom is a maritime security barrier that will entangle a vessel's propellers, causing them to come to a controlled stop. It creates a clear demarcation line in the water and provides a less-than-lethal way to prevent unauthorised vessels from penetrating a water-based security zone.
Booms are manufactured in standard IALA sections. The boom system is manufactured in yellow unless otherwise guided. Booms can be manufactured to customer-required lengths and colours and supplied with IALA Mooring Kits. Trust Vessel Arrest Systems to deliver your need.
Designed for real-world deployment
Less Than Lethal
Provides a proportionate, non-lethal intervention. The entanglement system brings the suspect vessel to a controlled stop without risk to life.
Clear Demarcation
Creates a clear line of demarcation in the water — an instantly recognisable boundary for marine security zones and restricted areas.
Quick & Effective
Quick to deploy and recover. Can be installed as a permanent barrier or temporary option, tailored to the specific needs of the user.
