Abstract	This report presents the results of a study on the performance and operational requirements for an oil barrier to be used at several possible deep water port sites. Four types of barriers were investigated as follows: (1) pneumatic barrier (2) skirt barrier, raisable, (3) skirt barrier, fixed flotation, and (4) skirt/pneumatic barrier (hybrid type). An engineering review of the four barrier designs is conducted and a program for their experimental evaluation is developed. The evaluation program provides for three levels of tests over a 3-year period: Containment/removal concept tests, dynamic model and component tests and offshore tests of a prototype barrier.
