ABSTRACT:
An oil skimming and utility vessel for operation in significant seas which functions to calm wave action for further oil contaminant separation operations or other marine utility operations. The vessel is a barge having forward tank compartmentation with a large stern compartment formed as sides and bottom tank open to incoming surface wave action from astern. The stern compartment then houses one or more serially arranged combinations of wave dampeners, distributors and conveyors, and baffle structure which functions to calm incoming surface water and/or contaminated oil/water mixtures. In oil skimming operation a porous-type oil stripping conveyor is employed in primary oil removal with a subsequent secondary oil skimming operation in the calm water forward portion of the stern compartment. Alternatively, the stern compartment is configured with the dampener, conveyor and baffle structure to protect a calm water, surface level work station.
