ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for retrieving hydrocarbon or similar products floating on waterways comprising: a floating skimming platform; an auxiliary floating support platform connected to the skimming platform but with an independent floating capability. The skimming platform includes two lateral floats set at a distance from each other and supporting a central structure including an intake channel or having at least two sections of an increasing slope, with access thresholds and exit apertures for each; a rear chamber fitted with retrieval facilities to transfer the recovered oil to storage tanks or ground facilities, and preceded by the vertical threshold which can rotate about a transverse axis and that responds to the variations of the liquid level in the rear chamber.
