EMCON Tow Bridles

EMCON Tow Bridles are designed to improve the towing performance and deployment control of Trident containment booms. By distributing towing loads evenly across the width of the boom, they help maintain alignment, reduce stress on connection points, and support smoother towing operations.

Designed for use in marine and inland environments, the tow bridles also provide additional buoyancy, helping keep the boom afloat and reducing drag during towing and repositioning.

Product Details

Product Information

EMCON Tow Bridles are a key deployment accessory used when containment booms need to be towed by a vessel. They distribute towing forces evenly across the boom, helping prevent damage to individual sections while improving towing stability and overall boom performance.

Their added buoyancy helps maintain flotation and reduces drag during towing, supporting smoother deployment and repositioning operations in ports, harbours, sheltered waters, and inland environments.

Designed for compatibility with Trident containment boom systems, they are commonly used during installation, spill response deployment, and recovery operations.
