<p>The invention relates to a method for collecting oil from waters (3), in which method a vessel (1) is driven to an oil-polluted location. An oil boom (6) is arranged into the water (3) so that its first fixing point (6a) is in connection with the vessel (1) and the second fixing point (6b) is at a distance from the vessel. Water to be cleaned (32, 33) is steered to the vessel with the aid of the oil boom (6). Oil (2) is collected with a cleaning apparatus (13) from the water (30, 32, 33), which was steered to the vessel. In the method the vessel (1) is fixed substantially in its place in relation to the bottom of the waters. A propulsion equipment (12) arranged in connection with the vessel is used so that it moves the water (3, 30, 32, 33, 34) around the vessel in relation to the vessel (1) and the oil boom (6, 15), which are fixed in their place. The invention also relates to an oil combatting vessel (1), which comprises at least a hull, a propulsion equipment (12) and a cleaning apparatus (13) for separating the oil from the water (3), and at least two fixing means (10, 10') for fixing the vessel to the bottom of the waters (3), of which fixing means the distance between the two fixing means is at least 10 percent of the length of the vessel (1).</p> |
