This is not a Turkish ship... For the first time i saw a ship like this...
Guys can you give some info about this ship... And do we need such a ship ?..
And some other ship examples of this kind...
Wait... If there are interesting ship like this can you share them too ?..

I have heard of this ship, but when i have seen i could give only one possibility, it should be from somewhere on north sea ( norwegian ,sweden, netherland , germany ) because those countries have good design companies which works on non-conventional ships by tailor-made style.
Bottsand-class oil recovery ship - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Its an oil recovery ship , which comes against current where oil leakage is appeared , pumps water into ship, separates oil and water and pumps water back into sea . There are only 2 ships in German Navy commissioned.
Our recently commissioned SAR vessels have this capability of separating oil and water but its done in conventional way , by deploying barrier on water , pulling it by one of RHIB on the ship and, trapping oil which flows with current by maneuvering mother ship . And then hydrolic driven equipment is deployed on sea from fore deck of ship , separates oil and water and pumps oil back on ship .Possibly, some other Coast guard vessels have the capability of deploying barrier on water.
To be honest, i attented these tests of recent SAR vessels, it took long time to deploy barriers need to pump air for each section of barrier, let them on sea and simultanously keeping position of downed barriers by RHIB. I cant say it was effective, takes long time and the equipment which separates oil and water isnt that effective one too. **Separator mentioned as oil skimmer , it was similar to this one.
Floating Drum Skimmer, Industrial & Oil Spill Control, Versatile-Fast-Skimoil Separators
Do we need this kind of ship ? i dont think we need one , Our SAR ship wouldnt be efficient either ,to keep oil pollution on Straits ,since current is too fast and chaotic. I have seen one particle based CFD analysis of possible pollution on Istanbul strait and time domained diagram was really chaotic, which is derived by lots of parameters includes temperature, other ship's paths and current isnt stable because of turns in strait of istanbul. So, to brief all , This ship has speed of 10 knots ( which you shared picture ) and this isnt enough to catch oil in our straits, to reach anywhere on our shores before than oil spreads ;our ship would serve in the same performance for our needs ,even better when we consider it can hit to high speeds to reach anywhere on time.
