The article reviews the evolution of oil skimming systems developed and optimized at TU Berlin in the past three decades. The focus lies on the latest concept – the Seastate-independent Oil Skimming System (SOS), and the associated numerical and experimental studies. The oil skimmer is based on purely hydromechanic principles. It is very robust since it has no moving parts. Investigations with the optimized SOS configuration reveal an efficiency up to 90% in calm waters and up to 65% in the chosen sea states.
