INSTALLATION
2. TD TANK INSTALLATION CONDITIONS
Satisfy the following installation conditions.
- Installation point should be 1/3 to 1/2 of the ship’s overall length back from the bow.
- If it cannot be installed on the keel, the center of the TD tank should be within 1 meter of
the keel.
Fully discuss about the strength and water tightness with the ship owner, the engineer in the
shipyard, and the installer before determining on the position, the method of installation, and
necessary materials. Otherwise it causes maritime accidents.

Space under Flange
-There should be no obstacles right below
the flange to avoid hindering bolt clamping.
-Do not protrude the TD tank from
beneath the keel.
-Flange should be positioned in parallel
with the ship’s draft and over the draft at
full load.
-Apply FRP sufficiently to all the necessary
sections to prevent water leakage.
-Make the surrounding of TD tank in a
streamline shape and provide a fairing
plate to suppress water resistance and
generation of air bubbles to the minimum.
-Attach a fin if necessary.
Make sure the fin does not hinder bolt
clamping for Flange.
