Abstract:
A cargo hold having a plurality of spaces, which are formed by a longitudinal bulkhead and a transverse bulkhead intersecting each other and store crude oil, comprises a void space located at least one corner among corners formed by intersection of the longitudinal bulkhead and the transverse bulkhead, wherein the void space is formed of a void space structure having one side end and the other side end sealed by and fixed to the longitudinal bulkhead and the transverse bulkhead, respectively, thereby forming an empty space inside the bulkheads. The vessel cargo hold prevents a danger, such as fire and explosion, which may occur during the maintenance or repair of the vessel cargo hold for storing crude oil, and decreases work or the like required for the maintenance or repair of the cargo hold.
