Definitions

  • the invention relates to a transfer tank comprising a floating, water-borne tank structure for transferring oil or other hazardous material away from a collecting vessel, the tank structure comprising an opening structure for filling and emptying said tank structure.
  • Oil collecting vessels may collect oil from water, but a problem is that the oil collecting vessel must return to a port or another discharge site when the on-board oil collecting tank is full, so that the oil collecting tank of the oil collecting vessel could be emptied. Thus, the oil collecting vessel has to interrupt its oil recovery operation for a long time, which causes inefficiency and which may make the effects of the oil spill worse.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a novel transfer tank.
  • the invention is characterized in that the tank structure comprises at least two adjacent tank parts, which comprise a double wall furnished with thermal insulation and that the tank structure also comprises a connecting structure for interconnecting the adjacent tank parts.
  • Figure 3 shows the transfer tank behind a tugboat, when the transfer tank is filled from an oil collecting vessel
  • Figure 4 is a partial cross section of a double wall of a tank part.
  • the invention relates to a transfer tank 1 .
  • the transfer tank comprises a floating, water-borne tank structure 3 for transferring oil or other hazardous material away from a collecting vessel 5, such as an oil recovery vessel 5.
  • the tank structure 3 comprises an opening structure 71 to 74 for filling and emptying the tank structure.
  • the opening structure includes a cover structure 81 to 84.
  • the hazardous material is a liquid, environmentally hazardous substance, for instance a liquid floating on water.
  • the transfer tank may be employed such that oil collected in the recovery tank of the collecting vessel 5 is pumped into the floating transfer tank via a hose 51 , and the transfer tank is transported on water by a means of haulage, such as a water-craft 200, hauling it away from the oil collecting vessel to a transfer tank discharge site. Transfer tanks may also be transported/towed in tandem. The transfer tank is emptied at the discharge site, and the emptied transfer tank is hauled on water by the means of haulage 200 to the oil collecting vessel.
  • the transfer tank may also be anchored for a subsequent transportation and emptying at the collecting site or in the vicinity thereof.
  • the material of the tank parts is polyethylene.
  • a manner to manufacture a tank part is to make it of a long, flexible, band-structured polyethylene pipe of 15cm * 10cm with heat-sealed spiral seams such that the adjacent spirals of the pipe are welded together by the effect of heat.
  • a double-walled structure which comprises an outer wall 131 and an inner wall 132 as shown in Figure 4.
  • the thickness of the double wall 13a as well as 13b may be determined on the basis of the pipe used in manufacture, and in accordance with the above, it may be 10cm, for instance.
  • the invention is not restricted to any particular measurements, but the measurements may vary.
  • the outer and inner casings, i.e. outer and inner walls 131 , 132 are of polyethylene or the like material, as stated above.
  • the outer and inner casings, i.e. outer and inner walls 131 , 132 are interconnected with a layer of insulation 300 or a honeycomb structure 310, thus obtaining a double wall.
  • the honeycomb structure 310 is only shown in the area of one spiral of pipe.
  • the transversal cross section of the tank part is round.
  • the longitudinal cross section of the tank part is an elongated rectangle, in which the longer side, i.e. the longitudi- nal side, is at least three times the length of the shorter side, i.e. the transversal side.
  • the transfer tank comprises a gripping element 450 for gripping the transfer tank so as to move it on water with an external means of haulage, such as a vessel 200, through a cable 210. Manipulation into and out of water is facilitated by the transfer tank comprising a hoisting element 250 for lifting the tank with an external lifting apparatus such as a hoist.
