A system for collecting oil from mixed ice and water conditions. The system uses suction pods that are welded along the hull of a vessel. These pods are elongated vertically and have a vertical slit opening that allow oiled water to enter into the suction box during wave action. Each vertical opening is covered with stainless steel mesh layers to inhibit smaller ice from entering the suction box. Inside each of the suction boxes is a horizontal floating suction bar that is connected to a flexible suction hose. The suction bar is free floating within the suction box so that collection always occurs at the water's surface. The collection line from the suction box leads to a collection and separation area. The suction boxes are protected by heavy-duty metallic “bumper that are welded to the hull to protect the suction box arrays.
