摘要

In a tanker for scooping up oil skimmed from the traversed water running off laterally by the ship's own launchable oil skimmers, which oil is pumped into the tanks of the ship by the skimmers, which are provided with floating bodies, are coupled to the ship's wall at numerous points and are stayed with bracing cables to absorb their drift forces, provision is made according to the invention for the skimmers to be designed as elastic flat tanks and for each of their couplings to consist of a slideway fastened to the ship's wall and a sliding block which can be inserted from above and is connected to the flat tank by a joint and with which a drive fixed to the ship for lifting and lowering the flat tank interacts, and for the outer boundaries of the inlet openings of the flat tanks to have connections which serve to fasten one each of the stay cables and a floating tube which forces the oil away into the inlet opening of the flat tank.
