Some of them collapsed and others floated and moved several hundreds of meters. The author investigated the damaging of these tanks. Conclusions are as follows: 1) Storage tanks containing little oil can be easily floated and moved by a tsunami. The floating tank may then collide with adjacent tanks, causing leakage of oil. A fire may then be triggered, causing massive environmental destruction. 2) Similar widely spreading tsunami could simultaneously damage a number of oil storage stations and cause serious disruption to the world economy. 3) An effective countermeasure against floating is to place a cylindrical wall around the tank or an impermeable liner around the base plate of the tank. 4) It would be advantageous for piping to uncouple from the side valve of a tank when a tsunami flow force is applied to the piping. 5) In tsunami-prone areas, oil leakage prevention dikes should also be designed against tsunami pressure from the outside.
