A support structure (1) for an independent tank, comprising: tank-side support bases (2) disposed and affixed to the bottom surface (51) of the independent tank; ship body-side support bases (3) disposed and affixed to the bottom plate (91) in the tank housing space of a ship body; and heat insulating support members (4) disposed between the tank-side support bases (2) and the ship-body side support bases (3) and formed so that the heat insulating support members (4) can slide on either the tank-side support bases (2) and/or the ship-body side support bases (3). The bottom surface (51) of the independent tank is configured so that, due to a temperature difference, the bottom surface (51) radially expands and contracts about a point on the bottom surface (51), the point not being displaced relative to the bottom plate (91). Each of the tank-side support bases (2) and each of the ship-body side support bases (3) are provided with reinforcement members (22, 32) at the portions thereof which include an eccentric region (8) in which the center (P1) of load on the tank-side support base and the center (P2) of load on the ship body-side support base become eccentric to each other due to the expansion and contraction of the bottom surface (51). |
