Tank arrangement

A tank arrangement for storing liquefied natural gas, the arrangement comprising:

• a multilobe tank having a longitudinal axis defining a longitudinal direction and a lateral axis defining a lateral direction, the tank including at least three tank sections arranged in a row in the lateral direction, each tank section being supported against a support surface with a first support supporting the tank in vertical direction and allowing movement of the tank relative to the support surface in the longitudinal direction, and with a second support supporting the tank in the vertical direction, at least one of the second supports preventing movement of the tank relative to the support surface in the longitudinal direction;
• and
• one of the tank sections including a third support, which supports the tank in the vertical direction and allows movement of the tank relative to the support surface in the longitudinal direction and prevents movement in the lateral direction, wherein the first and second supports are configured to allow shrinkage and expansion of the tank in the lateral direction.
