Abstract:
The present disclosure is directed to a rigging system for causing an endless oil mop driven through an engine or motor driven wringer mechanism to make multiple passes over and through an oil contaminated body of water from the deck of a vessel. This is accomplished by using sampson posts on the deck of a vessel and connecting spars to the posts and buoyantly supporting the free ends of the spars and mounting mop pulleys at the end of each spar and one pulley between the spars on the side of the vessel at the water line.
