ABSTRACT:
There are disclosed a method of and system including a ship for recovery of oil from an oil spill. The system includes a main ocean-going ship having a floating intake device with large submersible pumps; a clarifier system in the ship for separating the oil from the water; a discharge system for discharging the separated water; a bow thruster for laterally positioning the bow; a plurality of other vessels using floatable oil recovery booms for containing the spill and urging it toward the oil recovery ship, and pumps for pumping the processed oil back to shore or to another ship. A plurality of secondary and smaller vessels each having pumping means associated therewith. The smaller vessels can use booms to contain the spill and can have their pumping means operated so as to create controlled currents in preselected directions.
