OIL CLEAN-UP APPARATUS ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE Apparatus for removing an oil spill from the surface of a harbour includes a vessel fitted with sweeping booms each carrying a number of motor driven feed augers which are vertically spaced apart to extend generally para- llel to the water surface on which a layer of oil is floating. A buoyant sumo box is mounted for vertical sliding movement near the inner end of each boom and pumping equipment connects this box to a holding tank aboard the vessel. As the vessel is moved forward through an oil slick, the boom sweeps the oil towards the vessel with this sweeping action being augmented by the driving action of the rotating augers. The sump boxes float freely with respect to the booms so as to maintain a position which will best receive the swept and driven oil for transfer to the holding tank.
