ABSTRACT:
A low temperature liquified gas storage tank is supported in the hull of a ship by a plurality of chocks secured to and spaced peripherally around the tank and by chock engaging members carried by the ship's hull. Pressure resistant heat insulating pads disposed between the chocks and the chock engaging members are arranged to provide sliding surfaces which support the tank horizontally and vertically and permit thermal contracting and expanding movements of the tank relative to the ship's hull and which compensate for thermal expansion and contraction of the chocks and the chock engaging members.
