  • Patent number: 10927519
    Abstract: A recovery system for large-scale spilled oil flowing onto and adhered to a shore is disclosed. The recovery system for large-scale oil flowing onto and adhered to a shore is mounted on an amphibious vehicle that can move on a neritic zone and land. A skimmer assembly is installed in a front of the amphibious vehicle. An oil collection assembly is foldably provided on each of front opposite sides of the amphibious vehicle, thereby easily collecting oil. A recovered oil treatment assembly is mounted on the amphibious vehicle and configured to accommodate the oil recovered by the skimmer assembly therein and to store separated oil by separating water from the accommodated oil.
