An oil spill recovery vessel 10 is provided that comprises a catamaran bow section 12 with twin hulls between which an oil skimmer unit 11 is arranged for displacement between a lowered, operating, position in oil-polluted water and a raised, non-operational, position clear of the water. Aft of the catamaran bow section is a trimaran main section 13 made up of a central hull interposed between two outer hulls formed by aft continuations of the twin hulls of the catamaran bow section. The three hulls of the trimaran main section have conjoined upper portions. A propulsion unit 53 is operative to move the vessel forward at slow speed for skimming operations, and, with the skimmer unit in its raised position, at a fast speed in which the vessel planes on its trimaran main section. |
