Definitions

  • Technical Field Invention relates to a floating structure suitable for refuelling of the following transport: marine vessels, such as yachts, boats, jet skis etc.; aquaplanes; helicopters; cars; trucks and/or other transportation means.
  • United States patent No. 6,786,166 and European patent No. 1224113 discloses a liquefied gas storage barge with concrete floating structure.
  • Said tanks are cylindrical tanks each having a cross-section perpendicular to its longitudinal axes that comprises a preferably circular curved portion corresponding to the bottom of said tank, said portion being preferably a bottom half-circumference resting directly on the concrete bottom of the barge, which barge bottom is in the form of adjacent part- cylindrical troughs, each part-cylindrical trough having the same preferably circular, partially curved section in register with the bottom of each tank.
  • United states patent No. 3,828,708 discloses a modular pre-stressed concrete marine vessel having plurality of integrally cast longitudinal modules.
  • Each of said longitudinal modules comprising a concrete body; support beams extending vertically between said bottom slab and said deck slab, and parallel to said side walls; wherein said walls, slabs and support beams having a plurality of openings extending longitudinally there- through; a reinforcing steel network positioned within said body for pre-stressing said body.
  • WO2009/131543 discloses an offshore fuel storage facility that includes a spine structure supported on a seabed; and a plurality of floating storage modules moored adjacent the spine structure, each of the floating storage modules capable of storing at least one type of petrochemical product.

  • the floating structure comprises a fuel tank arranged in the compartment of the hull.
  • the fuel tank is arranged so that between walls of the compartment and fuel tank a space is maintained, therefore the fuel tank can be inspected during its use. This feature substantially increases a serviceability of the floating structure. Service personal can inspect the fuel tank in any moment.
  • the fuel tank can be made of steel, stainless steel or composite material.
  • the fuel tank can store petrol, diesel, gas or any other petroleum products.
  • the floating structure further may comprise at least one ballast tank arranged in one of the compartments and configured to keep the floating structure in a predetermined level, and an engine room for providing a power supply for the floating structure.

  • the ballast tanks are part of ballast-drainage system for trimming the floating structure.
  • the ballast-drainage system further may comprise a pump, pipe system, valves and filters.
  • One of the compartments is configured to be a cofferdam that is arranged between two compartments comprising fuel tanks in order to prevent two different fuels from mixing with each other. If the floating structure comprises a fuel tank of petrol and another tank of diesel, then between these two fuel tank compartments another compartment - cofferdam - is provided.
  • the hull is designed to have a necessary strength to fulfil its' functions. Necessary strength is provided due to accurate fulfilment of rules and requirements of classification societies.
