Embodiment Construction

[0044] Describes the support system used for loading containers (tanks) of different shapes in ships such as transport ships and storage ships. The provided embodiments are particularly suitable for cooling liquids such as liquefied natural gas (LNG) without limitation.

[0045] An important advantage of the present invention for a vertical tall container is that the vertical pressure including a large static component is supported in a manner independent of the horizontal pressure mainly generated by the dynamic motion of the ship. This will be explained later.

[0046] It is important for containers used to store LNG that there is no metal contact between the loading container and the ship structure. This is particularly important for situations where the liquid to be transported has a lower temperature than ordinary steel in the ship can withstand without losing some of its properties. The liquid to be transported may be, for example, LNG having a storage temperature of approx...

Abstract

The invention regards a system for support of a vertical cargo tank (4, 40) resting on an insulation layer (15) against the hull of a vessel (41). Vertical forces are supported through the base of the tank. Horizontal forces are supported by support point pairs (8). These pairs are designed to direct applied forces generally through the middle of the shell (23) of the tank in order not to apply bending moment to the shell of the tank. The base of the tank is flexible to generally distributed transferring forces from the tank directly to the bottom (7)of the vessel in order not to apply bending moment to the shell of the tank nor to the bottom of the vessel.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to a supporting system for liquid storage containers in ships. The present invention particularly relates to a system for receiving or supporting the vertical force acting on the liquid storage container in the ship at the bottom of the container and the horizontal force at a few positions, so that the supporting force that occurs is transferred to the ship in an advantageous manner. structure. Background technique [0002] It is advantageous to develop the ship's capacity in the most efficient way while maintaining safety. The design of the container and therefore the fastening of the container is affected by the liquid to be transported. This is especially affected by the environment required for the liquid. The liquid to be transported may be, for example, food that needs to be cooled to maintain quality, while other liquids require overpressure or negative pressure (vacuum). For example, the energy carrier of LNG is a related l...
