Abstract of the Disclosure A catamaran-type vessel having a pair of transversely spaced longitudinal hulls each being symmetrical longitudinally about a transverse medial line to operate with equal efficiency in fore and aft directions and supporting between the hulls a pair of counter-rotating drums by which an oil slick may be lifted and transferred to cargo chambers on the interior of each of the hulls. The cargo chambers are symmetrically alternated with hull buoyancy tanks and are equipped with bottom valves by which the draft of the vessel may be lowered to contact the lower periphery of the drums with the surface of an oil slick. Storage of recovered oil in the cargo tanks is effected by flotation of the lighter oil on the ballast water in the chambers and ultimate displacement of the ballast water by the collected oil.
