Abstract
Abstract 1,133,167. Carrying liquefied gases. LINDE A.G. 16 March, 1967 [28 March, 1966], No. 12353/67. Headings B7A and B7S. [Also in Division F4] In a tanker vessel for the transport of a cargo of liquefied gas at low temperature, the cargo is carried only in containers 5 which are located wholly above the level of the upper deck 3. Smaller auxiliary tanks 6 extend parallel to the fore-and-aft axis of the tanker outboard of containers 5. The sides of the hull 1 are connected by a cladding 7 with the outer walls of the auxiliary tanks and the containers. An insulating layer 8 is arranged between the cladding 7 and the containers and auxiliary tanks. The deck 3 is protected by a second barrier 12 arranged on a load-bearing insulating layer 13. The space between the cladding 7 and the second barrier 12 forms a gas-tight chamber which may be filled with a protective gas.
