ABSTRACT:
In order to facilitate temporary storing of oil in an underwater receptacle, for instance the pontoon of a semi-submersible vessel, the receptacle is subdivided by bulkheads into a series of tanks. A first tank is connected to a production unit by way of a conduit, or by way of a branch pipe to a delivery conduit. The tank located remotely with respect to the conduit communicates with the surrounding sea by an opening. The bulkheads are provided with upper and lower openings, respectively, and a screened passage extends between these openings. When oil is supplied to the first tank static or pump pressure will expel water through opening, and oil will fill the tanks in due order in the direction away from the first tank. When oil is withdrawn, water from the surrounding sea will flow in through opening and further on through the tanks towards the first tank.
