ABSTRACT:
A special type of tank that can be built into or placed in the cargo space of a ship to contain ballast water or another liquid without cross-contamination with the cargo residues, i.e. allowing for the carriage of segregated ballast in the cargo space. Allowance is also made for double-bottom space in the ship's loaded condition. A large part of the top, or lid, of the special tank is movable in a vertical direction from the highest part of the tank to the lowest part of the tank and special machinery and safety devices are fitted to expedite this movement. A rubber or flexible fabric sheet, which is watertight, connects the moveable and stationary part of the tank top and divides the tank into an upper and a lower section between which there is no communication. The flexible sheet is designed to take the internal contours of the inner tank when the cargo is loaded.
