The fatigue strength of a bottom end part jointed to an upper deck of a
hull is sufficiently maintained to thereby improve fatigue life. In a
tank cover which covers a protruding part of an independent spherical
tank loaded in a ship with one part protruding above an upper deck of a
hull, a bottom end part to be jointed to the upper deck is provided with
a reinforced part which is reinforced for strength. The reinforced part
is a thickened part with a thickness greater than a thickness of an other
part. The reinforced part is provided on both ends in a direction along
the width direction of the hull.
