Ship having a dome on its upper deck

摘要

A ship has on its upper deck a dome disposed between adjacent of transverse bulkheads aligned in the bow-stern direction of a hull and covering an opening in the upper deck. The dome is formed as a hemispherical shell-like member having a rigid structure. A short cylindrical member connects the circumferential edge portion of the hemispherical shell-like member with the circumferential edge portion of the opening in the upper deck. The transverse bulkheads of the hull are formed as a flexible structure having large openings. In a liquefied gas carrying vessel, a spherical tank for storing liquefied gas is disposed between the adjacent transverse bulkheads of the hull and projects upwards through the opening of the upper deck, and the dome covers the upper portion of the spherical tank.
