Abstract A floating liquid intake 30 for a liquid suction removal system. The liquid intake 30 comprises a housing 31 having a hollow and buoyant annular body 32 which defines an internal cavity 58. The housing 31 further has upper and lower covers 33 and 34 extending respectively upwardly and downwardly from the body 32, with the internal cavity 58 being formed between the upper and lower covers 33, 34. A substantially annular inlet 56 is formed in the body 32 for ingress of liquid into the cavity 58. The body 32 has buoyancy sufficient for the liquid intake 30 to float in a liquid with the annular inlet 56 submerged below the surface of the liquid in which the liquid intake 30 is floating. A pipe 35 extends into the cavity 58 and includes an inlet 45 that in use is open below the surface of the liquid within the cavity 58. The pipe 35 extends outside the cavity 58 for connection to a liquid suction removal system. C-1 baJ
