A method of substantially removing oil spilt on salt or fresh water includes the steps of: confining the spilt oil with a small mesh net (18) of substantial length which is connected to floats (30) and supports (36, 38) in such a way that the net (18) is maintained substantially vertical, causing or permitting the oil to move to a region adjacent to a selected portion of the net, and picking up the oil in said region off the surface of the water and feeding it into a suitable container. A suitable net has a mesh size of maximum dimension of about 2.5 millimetres and is connected at intervals to dan buoys designed to hold it vertical. The net may be deployed from vessels or aircraft, in a loop shape as seen in plan. |
