Description
- The present invention relates to a ship including a tank storing liquefied gas.
- In a ship such as a liquefied gas carrier, a tank storing liquefied gas is installed in the hull. The shape of the tank is various. For example,
Patent Literature 1 discloses a structure in the vicinity of atank 120 in aship 100 as shown inFIG. 6 . - In the
ship 100, thetank 120 installed in ahull 110 is covered by atank cover 130. Thetank 120 includes acylindrical tank body 121 and adome 122. Thetank body 121 extends horizontally. Thedome 122 protrudes upward from thetank body 121. Thetank cover 130 includes anopening 131, which allows thedome 122 to be inserted therethrough. The opening 131 is covered by adome cover 140.
DE 2604463 A1 discloses spring-loaded devices designed as arch rails bearing against the top of a tank under the action of springs. The springs are clamped directly between each arch rail and the deck structure above. - PTL 1:
Japanese Laid-Open Patent Application Publication No. 2015-4382 - The
ship 100 as shown inFIG. 6 , which includes thetank 120 including thecylindrical tank body 121, is desirably provided with a chock that restrains rolling of thetank 120, which is caused by rolling of thehull 110. For example, since thetank cover 130 is supported by a plurality of frame members that are arranged in the axial direction of thetank body 121, it is conceivable to provide a chock between one of the frame members and the top portion of the tank body 121 (the top portion is a portion extending straight in the axial direction of the tank body 121). - In this case, however, it is necessary to first determine the position of the chock based on the position of the one frame member, and thereafter determine the position of the dome. Thus, the dome has a positional restriction.
- In view of the above, an object of the present invention is to provide a ship that makes it possible to reduce the positional restriction of the dome.
- In order to solve the above-described problems, the inventors of the present invention have paid attention to the fact that, in general, an annular reinforcing member that supports the tank cover is provided around the opening that allows the dome to be inserted therethrough. Then, the inventors of the present invention have come up with providing a chock on the reinforcing member. The present invention has been made from such a technological point of view.
- Specifically, a ship according to the present invention includes: a hull; a tank that is installed in the hull and stores liquefied gas, the tank including a cylindrical tank body and a dome, the tank body extending horizontally, the dome protruding upward from the tank body; and a tank cover that covers the tank body, the tank cover including an opening that allows the dome to be inserted therethrough; characterized by: an annular reinforcing member that supports the tank cover around the opening; and a chock that restrains rolling of the tank, the chock being provided between the reinforcing member and a top portion of the tank body.
- According to the above configuration, the chock is provided between the top portion of the tank body and the annular reinforcing member that supports the tank cover around the opening. This makes it possible to reduce the positional restriction of the dome. In addition, since the chock is disposed near the dome, the distance between the dome and the chock can be reduced compared to a case where the chock is provided between one of the frame members and the top portion of the tank body. This makes it possible to allow the dome to increase in size to such a degree that restrictions in terms of the number and the size of pipes penetrating the dome can be eased.
- An axial direction of the tank body may be parallel to a ship length direction. A center of the dome may be positioned aft of a center of the tank body in the axial direction. The chock may be disposed aft of the dome. According to this configuration, even though the chock is disposed aft of the dome, the dome can be designed such that the dome is located at the aftmost position.
- The chock may be a first chock. The above ship may further include: a plurality of frame members that support the tank cover, the plurality of frame members being arranged in the axial direction of the tank body; a pair of saddles that supports the tank body at respective positions that are spaced apart from each other in the axial direction of the tank body; and a second chock disposed fore of the dome, the second chock being provided between the top portion of the tank body and one of the plurality of frame members. The first chock and the second chock may be disposed such that, when seen in a vertical direction, positions of the first and second chocks coincide with positions of the pair of saddles, respectively. This configuration makes it possible to suppress torsional deformation of the tank body when the hull rolls.
- For example, the chock may include: a block fixed to the tank body; and a pair of stoppers positioned at both sides of the block in a width direction of the tank body. The pair of stoppers may be fixed to the reinforcing member.
- Alternatively, each of the first chock and the second chock may include: a block fixed to the tank body; and a pair of stoppers positioned at both sides of the block in a width direction of the tank body. The pair of stoppers of the first chock may be fixed to the reinforcing member. The pair of stoppers of the second chock may be fixed to the one frame member.
- The present invention makes it possible to reduce the positional restriction of the dome.

FIG. 6 is a sectional view of a part of a conventional ship. -
FIG. 1 andFIG. 2 show aship 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention. Theship 1 is, for example, a liquefied gas carrier that transports liquefied gas. - In the present embodiment, the
ship 1 includes ahull 2 and twotanks 3 installed in thehull 2. Thetanks 3 are arranged in the ship length direction. Alternatively, the number oftanks 3 installed in thehull 2 may be one, or three or more. - Each of the
tanks 3 stores the liquefied gas. For example, the liquefied gas is liquefied petroleum gas (LPG, about -45°C), liquefied ethylene gas (LEG, about -100°C), liquefied natural gas (LNG, about -160°C), liquefied hydrogen (LH2, about -250°C), or liquefied helium (LHe, about -270°C). - In the present embodiment, as shown in
FIG. 2 , eachtank 3 is a double-shell tank including an inner shell and an outer shell. For example, a vacuum thermal insulation layer is formed between the inner shell and the outer shell. Alternatively, eachtank 3 may be a single shell tank covered by a thermal insulator. For example, the thermal insulator may be constituted by a plurality of vacuum insulation panels, or may be constituted by a plurality of foamed panels. - Each
tank 3 includes acylindrical tank body 31 and adome 32. Thetank body 31 extends horizontally. Thedome 32 protrudes upward from thetank body 31. The axial direction of thetank body 31 need not be exactly parallel to the horizontal direction, but may be substantially parallel to the horizontal direction (e.g., shifted from the horizontal direction by an angle of 10 degrees or less). In the present embodiment, the axial direction of thetank body 31 is parallel to the ship length direction. - To be more specific, the
tank body 31 includes a body portion that extends in the ship length direction with a constant cross-sectional shape; and hemispherical sealing portions that seal openings on both sides of the body portion. Alternatively, each sealing portion may have a flat shape perpendicular to the body portion, or may be dish-shaped. - The
dome 32 is intended for putting pipes penetrating thetank 3 into one place. In the present embodiment, the protruding direction of thedome 32 is parallel to the vertical direction. Alternatively, the protruding direction of thedome 32 may be slightly inclined relative to the vertical direction. In the present embodiment, the center of thedome 32 is positioned aft of the center of thetank body 31 in the axial direction. - A
recess 21 is formed in thehull 2. The twotanks 3 are inserted in therecess 21. Therecess 21 is divided into twocells 23 by abulkhead 22 between thetanks 3. In eachcell 23, a pair ofsaddles 25 is disposed. Thesaddles 25 support thetank body 31 at respective positions that are spaced apart from each other in the axial direction of thetank body 31. For example, thesaddles 25 are disposed near both ends of the bottom portion of the tank body 31 (the bottom portion is a portion extending straight in the axial direction of the tank body 31). - The
tank bodies 31 of thetanks 3 are covered by respective tank covers 4. Eachtank cover 4, together with theaforementioned cell 23, forms a cargo chamber that accommodates thetank body 31. - As shown in
FIG. 3 andFIG. 4 , eachtank cover 4 includes anopening 41, which allows thedome 32 of thetank 3 to be inserted therethrough. Theopening 41 is covered by adome cover 5. In the present embodiment, the height of thedome cover 5 is low, and thedome 32 penetrates thedome cover 5. It should be noted that, similar to theconventional ship 100 shown inFIG. 6 , the height of thedome cover 5 may be greater than the height of the top portion of thedome 32. - The
tank cover 4 is supported by a plurality offrame members 6, which are arranged in the axial direction of thetank body 31. Each of theframe members 6 extends in a direction orthogonal to the axial direction of thetank body 31. Around theopening 41, thetank cover 4 is supported by an annular reinforcingmember 7. The reinforcingmember 7 is joined to some of theframe members 6 that are located at positions corresponding to the reinforcingmember 7. - In the present embodiment, two
chocks 8, which restrain rolling of thetank 3, are disposed fore and aft of thedome 32, respectively. For example, thechocks 8 are disposed near both ends of the top portion of the tank body 31 (the top portion is a portion extending straight in the axial direction of the tank body 31). In the present embodiment, thechocks 8 are disposed such that, when seen in the vertical direction, the positions of thechocks 8 coincide with the positions of theaforementioned saddles 25, respectively. - The fore-
side chock 8 is provided between one of theframe members 6 and the top portion of thetank body 31. On the other hand, the aft-side chock 8 is provided between the reinforcingmember 7 and the top portion of thetank body 31. - As shown in
FIG. 5 , eachchock 8 includes: ablock 81 fixed to thetank body 31; and a pair ofstoppers 82 positioned at both sides of theblock 81 in the width direction (ship width direction) of thetank body 31. For example, the lower portion of theblock 81 is inserted in aframe member 83 provided on the top portion of thetank body 31. The pair ofstoppers 82 of the fore-side chock 8 is fixed to the oneframe member 6, and the pair ofstoppers 82 of the aft-side chock 8 is fixed to the reinforcingmember 7. - For example, the cross section of each
frame member 6 and the cross section of the reinforcingmember 7 are both inverted T-shaped. Each of theframe member 6 and the reinforcingmember 7 includes a vertical plate and a horizontal flange. The upper end portion of the vertical plate is joined to the tank cover 4 (the vertical plate of theframe member 6 is flat, whereas the vertical plate of the reinforcingmember 7 is cylindrical). The horizontal flange is joined to the lower end portion of the vertical plate. The pair ofstoppers 82 is fixed to the lower surface of the horizontal flange. - As described above, in the
ship 1 of the present embodiment, thechock 8 is provided between the top portion of thetank body 31 and the annular reinforcingmember 7, which supports thetank cover 4 around theopening 41. This makes it possible to reduce the positional restriction of thedome 32. In addition, since thechock 8 is disposed near thedome 32, the distance between thedome 32 and thechock 8 can be reduced compared to a case where thechock 8 is provided between one of theframe members 6 and the top portion of thetank body 31. This makes it possible to allow thedome 32 to increase in size to such a degree that restrictions in terms of the number and the size of pipes penetrating thedome 32 can be eased. - Moreover, even though the chock is disposed aft of the
dome 32, thedome 32 can be designed such that thedome 32 is located at the aftmost position. - Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the
chocks 8 are disposed such that, when seen in the vertical direction, the positions of thechocks 8 coincide with the positions of theaforementioned saddles 25, respectively. This makes it possible to suppress torsional deformation of thetank body 31 when thehull 2 rolls. - The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment. Various modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention, which is defined by the appended claims.
- For example, the number of
chocks 8 may be one. In this case, thechock 8 may be disposed fore of thedome 32. -
