ABSTRACT:
An oil collecting apparatus (1) and a method for collecting oil or the like comprises a frame (5) designed to form a restricted space with the surface of water or ice (VL), and a discharge opening (8) for discharging water and oil from side restricted space. For efficient recovery of oil, the apparatus comprises elements (7,10) for lowering the air pressure in the restricted space, such that the water level rises higher inside the frame (5) than outside it, and a disintegrator (10) arranged rotatably in the frame (5), the rotational movement of the disintegrator emulsifying the oil mixed with the water and breaking possible pieces of ice (13) in the restricted space, such that the water-oil mixture can be removed from the restricted space via the discharge opening (8).
