ABSTRACT:
A ship (20) with one or more liquid transport tanks (21) arranged in an upright position in a ship's hull, said transport tanks having an axial direction and a circumferential direction, and each transport tank comprising a tank bottom (22), a tank circumferential wall (25) and a tank roof (23), the tank bottom being supported on or forming part of a lower deck of the ship's hull. The tank circumferential wall is suspended by its lower and upper ends by means of deformable deformation absorbers (26) between the lower deck and an upper deck (24) of the ship's hull, which deformation absorbers are designed so as to absorb deformations between the ship's hull and the tank circumferential wall at least in the abovementioned axial direction, at least the lower deformation absorber extending in the circumferential direction around substantially the entire circumference of the tank circumferential wall, and at least the lower deformation absorber forming part of the tank wall and being accommodated at the position of the transition between the tank circumferential wall and the tank bottom so as to form a continuous sealing connection between them.
