Abstract (en)

The method involves opening a technical access (3) of a tank (1), and introducing a rigid pipe (13) inside the tank via the technical access. A pump is placed inside the rigid pipe, where the pump is selected from a group comprising a pressure pump (15) arranged in a lower part of the pipe and a suction pump arranged in an upper part of the pipe. The pump is in sealing relationship with the rigid pipe. The pump is free from a discharge/suction hose, so that liquid (22) is discharged/sucked across the pipe. An independent claim is also included for a technical access for implementing a method for evacuating liquid from a tank of a partially emerged ship.
