ABSTRACT A method for collecting oil from a water body covered by broken or solid ice and an arrangement for applying the method are described. The method includes the step of applying an ice submerging device to act on the ice for breaking up solid ice and for submerging oily ice below the water surface. The device may be a vertically movable unit or a vessel floating and moving in the water. The device has through-flow openings for water and and is brought into a position where the openings are below the water surface. Thereby the water level inside the device is kept substantially below the level of the ambient water in order to produce such a strong water flow into the device that the surrounding ice will be effectively rinsed. The oil washed away from the ice by the water is collected in the device. The device is so formed that it is operable in an ice field without causing ice piece cloggings.
