Ship having heat insulating compartments built into the framework of the ship has successive first sealing, first insulating, second sealing and second insulating barriers forming the compartment wall. The second sealing barrier is held to the hull of the ship by a fastener passing through the second insulating barrier. This fastener comprises an elongated stud welded to the hull of the ship, a head carried by the stud and a member fixed to the second insulating barrier and fastened to the head. The arrangement is such as to permit relative movement between the second insulating barrier and the hull substantially parallel to the hull.
