Membrane Tanks


These are non-self-supporting tanks consisting of a thin layer (membrane) supported through insulation by the adjacent hull structure. The membrane is designed in such a way that thermal and other expansion or contraction is compensated for without undue stressing of the membrane. Membrane tanks are primarily used for LNG cargoes (see Figure 24).
