Oil spill clean-up and recovery systems for marine vessels

A floating contaminant cleanup and recovery equipment for a marine vessel having a tank disposed in a body of water having floating contaminants, the equipment comprising:

• a first pivoting boom comprising a distal end and a proximal end, the proximal end comprising top and bottom end portions capable of being hingeably attached to the marine vessel, the boom further comprising an upper framework and a lower framework, the upper and lower frameworks being substantially parallel to each other;
• a first plurality of floating contaminant recovery modules disposed within and between the upper and lower frameworks, wherein each of the floating contaminant recovery modules in the first plurality of floating contaminant recovery modules comprises a tube float, a tube housing capable of receiving a fluid connection to the tank, and an intake tube comprising an inlet;
• a first floating contaminant deflection boom substantially extending from the vessel and around behind the plurality of floating contaminant recovery modules, the first floating contaminant deflection boom being capable of containing and channeling the floating contaminants in the body of water back to the plurality of the floating contaminant recovery modules.
