“Marine tanks” endure harsh conditions

A ship’s hull is constantly moving, with vibration from the engines, pitching and rolling due to waves, all resulting in twisting and distorting. Tanks also repeatedly shrink and expand because of the temperature and pressure of the cargo. Furthermore, the liquid surface inside the tank generates sloshing due to the ship’s movements, repeatedly adding force onto internal pipes and equipment. “Marine tanks” must endure harsh conditions incomparable to tanks located on land.
