<p>The invention relates to a system for the extraction of hydrocarbons from sunken vessels. The inventive system comprises a tank (2) which is submerged using a water ballast and counterweight (7) to an area adjacent to the sunken vessel (1) from which the hydrocarbon is to be extracted. According to the invention, the hydrocarbon is transferred through a conduit (8) which is connected to a robot (9), such that, as the tank (2) is being filled with hydrocarbon, water is being emptied therefrom, an inner filter being provided (14) in order to prevent said two products from mixing. Once the tank (2) has been filled with hydrocarbon, it is released from the counterweight-forming ballast and floats to the surface, thereby enabling same to be emptied on a surface craft (13) or other crafts intended for said purpose. The tank (2) is connected to the craft (13) by means of a cable (10) which is connected to a winch (10').</p> |
