[Also in Division F4] In a liquefied gas tanker comprising a hull 12 having a cargo section, a load carrying deck 15 in the cargo section, a plurality of doublewalled, generally rectangular, liquefied gas storage tanks 14 free standing on the deck and extending above the cargo section, a metal weather shield 19 extends over the top of each tank and downwardly for part of the height, a downwardly and outwardly directed flashing 22 being provided on the weather shield, and a flexible seal 28 extends between the flashing and the hull. The seal prevents entry of water between a tank and the hull whilst permitting relative movement due to expansion and contraction of the tank.
