Abstract: An oil boom skimmer member for oil spill recovery, in particular for collecting oil from a water surface, has a skimmer arrangement integrated into an oil boom member. An oil recovery system, in particular for collecting oil from a water surface, includes a plurality of such oil boom skimmer members connected in series to form an oil spill recovery boom apparatus. A guiding boom is connected to each of the outermost oil boom members, and the guiding booms are also connected to a vessel for operating the system. Through the use of trawl technology the skimmer oil boom apparatus can be operated by only one vessel when needed.

Abstract: The invention discloses a device (1) and method for dispersing oil (20) on water comprising a rig structure (2) for being mounted preferably in a front part of a vessel (15), the rig structure (2) including a front transverse structure (5) provided with at least a nozzle (7) for flushing with high pressure water (11) supplied from a high pressure facility (10) located on the vessel (15).
