A number of individual barrier units (10;300) form a floating barrier wall each comprising a housing (310) formed in the general shape of a highway barrier having a top wall (12,302), a bottom wall (14,304), opposed end walls (16, 18, 306, 308,), and, opposed side walls (20,22) interconnected to form a hollow interior (24,312) which is preferably partially or completely filled with a foam material (84, 86, 314). A ballast weight (92, 98, 114,136, 338) is secured to each barrier unit, either inside (92, 114, 136) or outside (98, 182) of the hollow interior (24) , to maintain them in an upright position in the water. Cables (360, 414), couplers (348) and/or other connectors are employed to mount adjacent barrier units end-to-end to form a barrier wall which can encircle a vessel or otherwise isolate an area within a seaport or other body of water to provide security.

Plusieurs unités individuelles forment un barrage flottant, où chacune comprend un logement dont la forme générale est celle d~un barrage routier avec un mur supérieur, un mur inférieur, des murs opposés et des murs latéraux opposés communicants pour former une partie intérieure creuse de préférence remplie en tout ou partie de mousse. Un poids de lest est fixé sur chaque unité du barrage, dans ou hors de la partie creuse, de façon à les maintenir dans une position droite dans l'eau. Des câbles, des coupleurs ou autres connecteurs sont utilisés pour monter des unités de barrage contiguës de façon à former un barrage en mesure d~entourer un navire ou autrement d~isoler une zone dans un port maritime ou une autre zone aquatique pour les besoins de sécurité.
