ABSTRACT The invention is a process and apparatus for cleaning up oil-spills. As process it comprises effecting a first separation externally of the ship at the bow, and conveying the oil into the ship for a second separation through an elongated baffled conduit. Oil in excess of the ship's capacity may be discharged at the stern into waiting tankers. As apparatus, intake means which may heat the oil and include when necessary surrounding wave-damping means connected to the ship's bow communicate flexibly with the ship's interior. One embodiment of the intake means is a wide shallow funnel. Novel for shallow coastal water oil skimming is a floating box having a water-level weir through which oil enters and a discharge port connected to a long flexible conduit communicating with a ship of substantial draft standing off in deep water. Mobile means such as shore tractors and powered boats tied to each box on the land side hold it in position and move it as desired.
