A vessel (10, Fig 1) is provided with a tailored web of waterproof fabric 50, which may be stowed in a pouch 60 above the bow and which is deployed upon impact of the hull with floating debris. The web may be drawn down below the bow and aftwards by tensioning cables 80A, 80B and 86 to cover any hole H created by the impact so that water pressure urging the web over the hole seals the hole and prevents sinking of the vessel. A method of remediating the accidental creation of a hole in the hole of a vessel by deploying a web of material over the hole is also disclosed.
