A sealed, thermally insulated tank consists of tank walls fixed to the
load-bearing structure of a ship, the tank walls having, in succession,
in the direction of the thickness from the inside to the outside of the
tank, a primary sealing barrier, a primary insulating barrier, a
secondary sealing barrier and a secondary insulating barrier, at least
one of the insulating barriers consisting essentially of juxtaposed
non-conducting elements (3), each non-conducting element including a
thermal insulation liner, at least one panel and load-bearing partitions
rising through the thickness of the thermal insulation liner in order to
take up the compression forces. These partitions include at least one
anti-buckle partition (14) that includes a plurality of anti-buckle wall
elements that have a respective orientation forming an angle relative to
a general longitudinal direction of the anti-buckle partition, for
example forming corrugations or double-wall portions.
