ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for confining an oil slick on the open seas and for skimming the oil from the ocean's surface and funneling it into a floating barge wherein the oil is separated for later processing. Oil is confined in an inverted triangular-shaped area by two flotatable booms each made up of a plurality of individual flotatable sections connected together. Thus, the booms can undulate in up and down fashion with the action of the waves. Oil and water is skimmed from the confined ocean's surface by a catcher and is funneled by the catcher into a flotatable oil recovery barge for later processing of the oil separated from the ocean water.
