Containment Booms comes in many shapes and sizes, and depending on the water conditions different booms has various level of effectiveness.
Using an incorrect model can make the spilled oil pass the oil boom even if it’s well anchored.
It could depend on strong currents, where the oil pass under the draft skirt. It may also depend on high waves were the oil washes over the boom. With the right model, this can be prevented.
Based on the application area and the weather condition, the size of the oilboom are often classified according to the following table:
| Type | Application area | Max wave height (m) | Freeboard(cm) | Draft (cm) |
| Offshore | Open ocean and unprotected coastal area | 2 | >50 | >60 |
| Inshore | Moderately coastal and harbor area | 1 | 25-50 | 30-60 |
| Harbor | Well protected coastal and harbor area | 0,4 | 10-25 | 15-30 |
