ABSTRACT:
An oil containment boom and skimmer for extending at least partially about, containing against further dispersion, and skimming an oil spill from a body of water. A first longitudinally extending tubular member is placed adjacent to the oil spill area. It includes an inner open area and inlet means for receiving oil and water. A second longitudinally extending tubular member is placed parallel to the first member. The second member includes an inner open area which is in communication with the first inner open area. A passageway with a lip connects the members and is placed slightly above sea level for skimming the upper layer of oil. The second open area contains ports which allow the oil to drain out into a separate oil storage tank.
