Abstract
Disclosed herein is a floating structure with a fuel gas tank for storing gas fuel to be fed to a dual fuel propulsion system under a cabin area. According to the present invention, there is provided a floating structure with a fuel gas tank storing gaseous fuel used as fuel while floating at sea, including: a cabin area disposed on an upper deck of the floating structure; a fuel gas tank mounted under the cabin area in the hull of the floating structure; and a blocking member mounted between the cabin area and the fuel gas tank to secure safety of the cabin area.
Claims14
A floating structure comprising:
- a cabin structure disposed over an upper deck of the floating structure;
- a fuel tank mounted in a hull of the floating structure below the upper deck and;
- and
- a coffer dam comprising a void space, which is interposed between the cabin structure and the fuel tank such that the cabin structure, the coffer dam and the fuel tank are arranged in order from the top along a vertical direction perpendicular to the upper deck and such that at least part of the cabin structure, the coffer dam and the fuel tank are overlapping when viewed in the vertical direction,
- wherein the fuel tank is generally centrally located in the hull along a longitudinal direction of the hull between front and back thereof.
A ship comprising:
- a cabin structure disposed on an upper deck of the ship;
- a fuel tank disposed in a hull of the ship below the upper deck and further under the cabin structure;
- a coffer dam comprising a void space, which is disposed between the cabin structure and the fuel tank such that the cabin structure, the coffer dam and the fuel tank are arranged in order from the top along a vertical direction perpendicular to the upper deck and such that at least part of the cabin structure, the coffer dam and the fuel tank are overlapping when viewed in the vertical direction, wherein the fuel tank is generally centrally located in the hull along a longitudinal direction of the hull between front and back thereof;
- a propulsion apparatus;
- and
- at least one conduit connecting between the fuel tank and the propulsion apparatus for supplying fuel to from the fuel tank to the propulsion tank for consumption in the propulsion apparatus.
