ABSTRACT:
Containers for storing crude oil or other liquids at offshore locations are formed preferably of reinforced concrete, though prestressed concrete can be used. The containers can be floated into position and sunk onto the ocean floor. Each container is bottle-shaped and consists of a lower storage section and an upper or neck section. The lower section is located below water and the neck section extends upwardly to a point above the water level. The maximum diameter of the lower section is considerably greater than the maximum diameter of the upper section. A platform or platform section can be provided on the upper end of the upper section. A number of containers can be grouped together and interconnected at their upper ends by a platform.
