Abstract
A floating structure with an on-deck fuel tank that is surrounded by a cover is provided. In the floating structure, since the fuel tank is covered by the cover, the fuel tank is sealed without being exposed to air, thereby enhancing safety. The fuel tank is configured to store liquefied fuel gas to be used as fuel. The fuel tank is installed on a deck of the floating structure, and the exterior of the fuel tank is surrounded by a cover.
