The technology has been used widely in the world, especially in Japan, Vice Director General of the Vietnam National Petroleum Group (Petrolimex) Vuong Thai Dung said, adding that the double-shell steel tank is able to curb the possible leakage of hazardous agents and guarantee safety.
The tank was made by Petrolimex’s construction company No. 1 using technology transferred by Japan’s Tamada industrial company.
Vietnam uses mostly single-hull steel petrol tanks that pose risk of leakage and environmental pollution.
Chikahiro Masuda, Assistant Resident Representative of the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) suggested Vietnam come up with legal frameworks to spread the technology across the country.
The second tank of this kind will be installed Ho Chi Minh City.-VNA
