They expected to begin unloading oil from a damaged cargo tank soon.

Now three more ekti cargo tanks launched away from the racing blitzkrieg scoops.

Those cargo tanks are full to the gills.

The cause of the explosion was thought to be a spark from tools used by a repair gang working near the cargo tanks.

"In a pipeline situation, where there is no vessel with cargo tanks, we ask, 'What do you think you lost?' "

The material for these cargo tanks has to be either 9% nickel steel or aluminium.

The explosion breached the outer hull, but not the cargo tanks, and the ship sailed on to its destination.

Still, he had to adjust for the steadily diminishing mass of the cargo tank as its contents sprayed out.

As a result, pressure within the cargo tanks increases; similar to boiling water in a pressure cooker.

The inert gas system is used to prevent the atmosphere in cargo tanks or bunkers from coming into the explosive range.
