ABSTRACT:
A two-piece skirt is disclosed for supporting a tank in the hull of a ship. One skirt portion carries a trough, and the edge of the other skirt portion extends into the trough but is spaced from contact therewith. The trough is filled with a hardenable material, preferably of low thermoconductivity, which upon hardening structurally joins the two skirt portions. If the tank carries liquefied gas, the joint effectively thermally insulates it from the hull.
