How the aluminum spherical tank for Moss type is attached to the ship's steel hull ❓ The LNG ship Moss type tanks are each supported by a metal skirt from the equatorial ring ⭕, which transmits the weight of the tank and the cargo to the lower hull. The skirt is stiffened in the upper part by horizontal rings ⭕ and the lower part by vertical corrugated stiffeners. Each tank is covered by a spherical steel tank cover 🔴, the main purpose being for tank and insulation weather protection. The cover also permits control of the hold space atmosphere 💭. The lower edge of each cover is welded to the weather deck, forming a watertight seal 🚧. A flexible rubber seal is used at the point where the tank dome protrudes out from the cover. |  Source : liquefied gas carrier |
