The storage vessel for an extremely low temperature material includes an inner container configured to store an extremely low temperature material of a liquefied state through a supply pipe in an inner receiving space; an outer container installed at a separated space at the outside of the inner container and having a vacuum port configured to enable the separated space to be a vacuum state; and a heat insulating member installed in a vacuum region between the inner container and the outer container to block a heat from being transferred to the inner container, wherein a discharge pipe connected to an outlet of the inner container and configured to vaporize and discharge an extremely low temperature material is disposed between the inner container and the outer container, and at an outer surface of the discharge pipe, a thermally conductive layer coated with a highly conductive material having high thermal conductivity is formed. By a such a configuration, a heat applied to an outer container can be effectively blocked from being transferred to an inner container for storing an extremely low temperature material, and by reducing a vaporization rate of the extremely low temperature material by increasing a heat transfer area of a discharge pipe, a loss rate according to vaporization of the extremely low temperature material can be reduced and a separate cheap auxiliary extremely low temperature material in addition to the extremely low temperature material can be subsidiarily used for fuel or industrial use.

Suspension system for an inner container mounted for thermal insulation in an outer container. Rod-shaped fixed bearing securing elements of a fixed bearing system engage the outer container and the inner container and can be stressed in tension and compression. Fixed bearing securing elements engage the inner container while being arranged so as to be distributed in an annular installation space between the inner container and outer container, and they engage the outer container while being distributed in the annular installation space. A floating bearing system with a floating bearing ring and annularly distributed floating bearing securing elements can be arranged in the outer container to support the inner container. The floating bearing securing elements can be stressed in tension by tension springs and/or in compression by compression springs and engage the floating bearing ring and the inner container or the outer container.

A liquefied gas storage tank includes: an inner shell storing a liquefied gas; an outer shell forming a vacuum space between the inner shell and the outer shell; and a fail-safe thermal insulating layer covering an outer side surface of the outer shell. According to this configuration, the fail-safe thermal insulating layer is not disposed in the vacuum space. This makes it possible to suppress the degradation over time of the degree of vacuum in the vacuum space.
