ABSTRACT:
A support device for an independent tank, wherein a first support member secured to the tank is adapted to be supported on the top surface of a second support member attached to a ship's hold. Particularly in the case of a spherical tank, a horizontal ring projecting from adjacent the equator of the spherical tank is adapted to be supported on a support deck installed around the inner periphery of a ship's hold, with a pressure-resistant heat insulating material interposed between the ring and the support deck. In such support device, an anti-floating member is provided on and projects from either the first support member or the second support member through the other member without touching the same. When the tank tends to float up, the free end of the anti-floating member and the mating member engage each other with the pressure-resistant heat insulating material interposed therebetween, thereby preventing the floating up of the tank.
