The invention comprises a device for collecting spilled oil from an ocean surface and includes a buoyant suction head preferably circular in design with a plurality of suction ports around the periphery. A floating hose connects the suction head to a suitable pump which adequately removes the oil to a holding area. Several heads are adapted to operate simultaneously off the same suction source. The head itself is circumscribed by screens to protect the head and pump from debris.
