TECHNOLOGY OF TANKER CONSTRUCTION Russian patent published in 2018 - IPC B63B25/08 B63B9/00 

FIELD: ship building.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to the field of shipbuilding, in particular to the technology of building a tanker, preferably a parcel tanker. Technology of building a tanker includes the steps of: providing a hull having arranged therein at least one hold which is accessible via a hatch opening; providing at least one self-contained tank module comprising a number of cargo tanks; arranging in the hold the self-contained tank module to provide a tanker. In this case, the tank module is arranged in the hold such that the tank module and the hull are structurally independent and such that the tank module is removable via said hatch opening of the hold after a period of use of the tanker.

EFFECT: technical result consists in simplifying the technology of tanker construction, in the possibility of ensuring the standardization of the hull and tank module, in the possibility of using the hull of a pre-built cargo ship in the construction of a tanker, in improving the operational characteristics of a tanker, and in using the tanker more efficiently.
