ABSTRACT:
A non-permeable liner is utilized to define a first liquid-fillable chamber within a vessel, and cooperates with walls of the vessel to define a second liquid-fillable chamber external to the liner. Separate quantities of liquids are simultaneously transported in these separate chambers. In one application, a liner is utilized to segregate central portions of an oil tanker hold from surrounding portions thereof to provide a central chamber within which potable water can be transported. The liner cooperates with walls of the hold to define a surrounding chamber within which another liquid such as non-potable water can be shipped. In preferred practice the liner is formed from flexible, collapsible, relatively light-weight material which can be installed easily in a vessel such as an oil tanker hold, and which can be collapsed inside the vessel when the vessel is used for transporting a single quantity of liquid such as oil.
