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 ). |
