ABSTRACT:
Underwater liquid storage tank or facility adapted to hold or temporarily store varying quantities of a liquid having a density less than water. Said liquid can include crude oil and petroleum products. The facility includes means for maintaining the holding space in a full condition by the addition or removal of water. Further included is means to avoid inadvertent pollution of the surrounding water through the unintentional discharge of amounts of the less dense liquid which can be carried by water leaving the tank. Also included is means forming a protective barrier about the liquid holding tank to avoid serious leakage and possible damage to the environment in the event the facility is ruptured by a floating vessel or other object.
