Abstract:
The present invention relates to anti-sloshing LNG cargo tanks to mitigate a sloshing phenomenon. The anti-sloshing LNG cargo tank having a first barrier for preventing leakage of a cryogenic LNG, a second barrier and an insulation pad provided to supplement the first barrier, includes: an anti-sloshing bulkhead for partitioning a space in the LNG cargo tank into a plurality of spaces to reduce a sloshing phenomenon of the LNG that moves in the LNG cargo tank; and a stool part united at a first surface thereof to an inner wall of an LNG carrier body and united at a second surface thereof to the anti-sloshing bulkhead to fasten the anti-sloshing bulkhead to the inner wall of the LNG cargo tank. The stool part is coupled to the first barrier and the second barrier and having the insulation pad therein, thus preventing the cryogenic LNG from leaking towards the inner wall of the LNG carrier body or from exchanging heat with the inner wall of the LNG carrier body.
