The German Navy operates a ship of an interesting design, engineered to recover oil spilled into the sea.
The twin hull ship feature a unique bow which can be opened by 65 degrees.
This creates an area of more than 40 square meters to collect oil-polluted seawater.
The water is pumped into the ship’s tank, where it can be cleaned and the oil separated.
Although owned by the German Navy, the ships are manned by civilians and not naval personnel.
