Q

What term is used to describe a tank barge constructed with the structural framing inside the cargo tank and the side shell plating containing the cargo?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Tank barge construction types and how cargo is supported or contained • Difference between hull structure and independent cargo tanks • Meaning of cargo being contained directly by the side shell plating

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: In this question, is the cargo held directly by the ship’s outer skin, or by a separate inner tank? • Which option describes a design where the framing is inside the tank and the outside plating itself is what keeps the cargo in? • Which listed term clearly contrasts with designs where cargo tanks are separate from the vessel’s shell?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which term refers to cargo resting directly against the outer shell plating rather than a separate inner tank • Eliminate any option that clearly means the tank is separate/independent from the hull structure • Check basic definitions of single hull vs. double hull vs. independent tank in tank vessel construction references before choosing
