Abstract
A kit for collecting spilled oil is provided in a single, easily transportable container of components including a flattened floating sock skimmer postionable in the water with a partially submerged open front and an open rear downwardly facing into the water, a crane to facilitate assembly and deployment of the skimmer, a power unit, and towable bags for use in containing oil collected by the skimmer; the container not only provides storage for the components but also functions as a means for separating oil and water removed by the skimmer.
