A floating oil skimmer for recovering oil from the surface of a body of water is disclosed. The skimmer is comprised of an elongated, box-like skimming unit having an open front equipped with an adjustable inlet lip, an oil and water separation zone, adjustable oil overflow weir, an oil collection sump, and a water outlet gate. A buoyant pontoon section is removably attached at each side of the skimming unit to render the apparatus buoyant. The pontoon sections are easily detachable to facilitate land transport of the device.
