This idea may already be in use but here is what I envision. Create a large shop vacuum (the wet type that can pick up liquids) on a ship. Rather than have one hose like a vacuum cleaner, hook this hose to a boom of nozzles supported by floats. This array of sucking nozzles would be towed by the boat to suck up the top few inches of oil/water. Once this mixture is sucked up it would be allowed to separate in the hold of the ship with the water being decanted from the bottom. This will leave only oil in the holding tank.
