LIQUEFIED-GAS CARRYING VESSEL

摘要

This aims to provide a liquefied-gas carrying vessel capable of reducing the width of a hull and reducing a hull resistance and a hull weight, thereby to improve a navigation performance. The liquefied-gas carrying vessel (1) comprises a plurality of spherical tanks (2) stored therein with a liquefied gas, arranged along a bow-stern direction and fixed in a hull (5) through a skirt, and one continuous tank cover (7) covering the upper halves of the spherical tanks (2) and extending along the bow-stern direction and the beam direction. The tank cover (7) is constituted such that it is rigidly jointed to the hull (5), thereby to retain the longitudinal strength integrally with the hull (5).
