A method of reconstructing a liquid carrying tank vessel, such as an oil tanker, and to the reconstructed vessel whereby a tank vessel constructed with a single bottom hull is reconstructed to a double bottom hull configuration at least over the hull portion including the cargo tanks, and to the reconstructed vessel thereby obtained. The original hull is separated at a point where the bow curve meets the midships section of the hull. A new section is inserted which follows the curvature of the original bows, and increases both the beam and draft. A new double bottom is applied over the remainder of the cargo tank carrying space of the hull, which is tapered in to meet the curve of the stern section. The new section can be fabricated with, or without, a double bottom, depending upon its intended use.

Procédé de reconstruction d'un navire à citernes pour chargement liquide, tel qu'un pétrolier, et navire ainsi reconstruit. Un navire à citernes construit avec une seule coque de fond est reconstruit selon une configuration de coque à double fond au moins sur la partie de la coque comportant les citernes. La coque d'origine est séparée en un point où l'incurvation de proue rencontre la partie médiane de la coque. On introduit une nouvelle partie qui suit l'incurvation de la proue d'origine et augmente à la fois la largeur maximale du navire et le tirant d'eau. On applique sur le reste de l'espace de la coque comportant les citernes un nouveau double fond qui est effilé pour s'adapter à la courbure de la poupe. La nouvelle partie peut être fabriquée avec ou sans double fond, selon l'utilisation prévue.
