  • Patent number: 3958521
    Abstract: A deep sea tank and seaport system is disclosed. The system includes a plurality of deep sea tanks which provide a containment barrier surrounding one or more towers which function as a docking facility for oil tankers. The deep sea tanks are connected to a cable surrounding the tower, with an opening at either end of the tank arrangement to permit access by the oil tankers to the tower. The tower employs features which ensure a stabilized platform, while allowing easy access to the tankers. The tower is equipped with living and operational spaces for the crew, and a pipeline is provided to allow transfer of oil to the shore. The present system is advantageously employed around oil drilling rigs and in other environments in which it is desired to contain oil spills or other pollutants floating on the water.
