Definitions

  • the invention relates to a tanker with a double bottom and vertical cylindrical cargo tanks.
  • the invention also relates to a method for providing tankers having double bottoms and cylindrical cargo tanks.
  • the invention is especially intended for use in connection with tankers of all sizes for chemicals/products.
  • the inventive concept concerns engineering and arrangement of the cargo tank area on such vessels.
  • a common structure and a common arrangement of the cargo tan area consists of a tank arrangement with a double bottom fo IMO class II cargo and also a double skin (hull side), longitudinal and transverse bulkheads of plane steel plate with stlffeners and frames, or corrugated steel plate without stlffeners, but with frame stiffening, and decks (o top of the tanks) with stlffeners and frames, eithe externally on the deck or internally in the tops of th tanks.
  • tankers with spherical tanks are known, which tanks ar designed to be integrated with the hull, or to be separat elements.
  • Tankers with cylindrical tanks are known, in whic the tanks sit in foundations in the cargo tank area, possibl with vertical tanks in the cargo tank area.
  • Tankers are als known with horizontal cylindrical tanks which are integrate with the ship's hull. Structurally, such tankers may b considered to be a kind of double-walled tubes. The tank are, thus, very large and occupy most of the cross sectiona space of the hull. Internal division is provided with plan or rounded bulkheads.
  • the tanks should also form integrated elements of the ship's structure.
  • a tanker with a double bottom and vertical cylindrical cargo tanks in the space between tank top and deck is, thus, proposed, which tanker is charact ⁇ erized by the fact that the cargo tanks have a circular cross section or a cross section forming part of a circle, and that respective cargo tank bottoms and tops are flat constituting integrated parts of the tank top, and deck respectively, without stlffeners below the deck.
  • the tanks may be connected by bulkheads without stlffeners.
  • Utilizable external tank areas are, thus, provided between the cylindrical tanks. Said tank areas may either be empty when the ship has a cargo, or they may be used for more light-weight cargo with a specific weight of less than 1.00, and they will also facilitate cleaning.
  • the external tank area between the circular cylindrical tanks may, advantageously, be made of ordinary steel, whereas e.g. so called clad steel or so called coated steel may be use for the cylindrical tanks if that is deemed satisfactory. B using, e.g. clad steel and coated steel, there will be minimized transition zones between the steel grades and, thus, reduced galvanic corrosion between various steel grades. Galvanic corrosion is an undesirable proble occurring with time in connection with operation and maint enance.
  • the tanks will facilitate cleaning. This is du to the fact that the tank area is devoid of all kinds o stiffener means. A minimum coat-area is achieved, resultin in minimized maintenance cost. Furthermore, a simple an central positioning of tank cleaning machines is permitte as well as a rational and economic structure and operation o cargo handling and tank maintenance. The tank spaces betwee said circular cylindrical tanks are prismatic and will, thus also be suited for a central positioning of cleanin machinery, so that said tanks also facilitate cleaning.
  • the cargo tanks may be embodied in a modular system, so that the members use will be practically identical and economical in productio and mounting.
  • the arrangement of tanks may also be varied t form a desired pattern in plan view.
  • each tank is fla and forms an integrated member of the tank top and deck respectively.
  • a flat top, and bottom, respectively, should b understood to indicate that they are adapted to the shape o the tank tops, or deck, respectively (camber, inclination etc.).
  • the tank mantles will extend substantially at righ angles with the top and bottom and it is butt welded to the latter. Overlapping should be avoided. It would, thus, be a disadvantageous arrangement If a tank with an associated bottom were placed on top of a tank top with welding around.
  • a deficiency of the weld would cause an airspace between the bottom of a tank and the top of a tank (possibly between the top of a tank and the deck), and a leakage of cargo in such an airspace, which is not permitted.
  • the tank top is a "pure" deck surface with all stlffeners provided in the double bottom. Just beneath the deck the problem of stlffeners may be solved by either arranging a double deck or by placing stlffeners above said deck.
  • the present invention it will also be possible to build the hull proper separately, with equipment and prefabricated tanks being mounted later. Building costs for the ship may, thus, be cut down, at the same time as the highest standard of quality is maintained, which is most important, e.g. in tankers for chemicals.
  • the hull proper may, thus, be built in countries having low building costs, and it may then be moved to a more soflsticated shipyard to be equipped and provided with tanks.
  • the inventive concept may also be realized in connection with reconstruction of existing tankers or bulk ships into a more soflsticated tanker for chemicals/products.
  • a method is, thus proposed to provide a tanker with a double bottom and cylindrical cargo tanks, which Is characterized in that the ship's hull is completed with a double skin and decks, and that prefabric ated tank mantles with a circular or partly circular cros section and with reduced height relative to the height of th hold are then Introduced into the hold of the hull, ar placed in desirable locations on the double bottom, and ar then raised into contact with the deck and fastened to th latter, whereupon a prefabricated lower adapting member i inserted between the tank mantle and the tank top and i attached to the tank mantle and the tank top to finish th tank.
  • plates intended to b tank bottom plates are welded into respective openings of th top of the tanks before the above mentioned insertion.
  • Openings are made in the inner deck or the deck and the pre fabricated tank mantles are provided with an attached to plate of corresponding dimensions which Is welded into respective opening which Is part of the deck or inner deck.

Entre les citernes se trouvent des cloisons planes renforcées (17-28). Une méthode de construction d'un tel navire-citerne est également prévue. La coque du navire est complétée par un double bordage extérieur (2, 3, 4, 5), un pont à deux étages, et un double fond, sur lequel des citernes cylindriques préfabriquées et des citernes constituant une partie d'un cylindre sont introduites dans l'espace de la coque et mises en place. Des surfaces intérieures de citerne lisses sont réalisées. Les zones intermédiaires peuvent également être utilisées en tant que citernes.
