ABSTRACT:
A watertight and thermally insulating tank built into the bearing structure of a ship. The tank includes a primary watertight barrier contacting a product contained within the tank. A secondary watertight barrier is located between the primary watertight barrier and a bearing structure of the ship. The tank also includes a primary thermal insulating barrier and a secondary thermal insulating barrier. The thermal insulating barriers are alternated with the watertight barriers. A fastener holds the primary thermal insulating barrier pressed against the secondary watertight barrier. A corner connection connects elements of the primary and secondary watertight barriers at a corner of the tank in zones where the transverse bulkheads meet the internal sides of the double hull of the ship at an intersection ridge. The corner connection secures the elements of the watertight barriers to opposite sides of a band along weld lines. The weld lines are substantially parallel. The band is secured to the bearing structure in the vicinity of the intersection ridge.
