<p>A device for sealing accidentally arisen leaks in a tank, preferably in a bulk tank or hold (9) of a ship. One or more leak sealing devices in the form of sealing means (3) are filled into the tank (9). The sealing means (3) are either hose-shaped or balloon-like and are gradually filled with a fluid, for instance a mixture of oil and water, the leak of which from said tank (9) is undesirable. As a result, the sealing means (3) will gradually fill the tank (9) and eventually block the leak (5) in the tank (9). The sealing means (3) is thus guided towards the leak (5) - because of the outflow from the leak - where it wedges itself in place.</p> |
