Oil-collection system and oil-collecting barge. The system comprises a towing vessel and a transport barge, which has a catamaran structure, so that there are oil collectors in its pontoons. Guide booms are attached to the sides of the barge, with a structure that is tubular frame around a wall, in which the air space or volume of the lowest tube corresponds to the boom's own weight. When using a larger capacity in collection, the additional booms on the deck are filled with air and simultaneously pulled into operating condition with the aid of auxiliary boats, when towable booms are formed. With the aid of the invention, transport barge with a rapidly moveable structure, equipped with oil collectors is obtained, which can be attached to a towing vessel, and which in maritime conditions is stable and operable when towed. Thus a highly steerable unit is obtained for operative oil-spill-response tasks, in which the necessary hydraulics and other energy requirements of the equipment are connected from the towing vessel. In the case of an accident, the unit on operational stand-by departs for the accident site, where collection operation is started by rotating the barge's booms to the operating position.
