A tank system (2) for a hull (1), substantially symmetrical about a centre axis (111) is described, where several primary tanks (21) are arranged between a centre structure (11, 12) and two or more ballast tanks (22), and where two adjacent primary tanks (21) are mutually separated by a primary bulkhead (211) extending from the centre structure (11, 12) and in a substantially radial direction outwards towards a hull side (13), where a secondary ballast tank (22b) is delimited against two adjacent primary tanks (21) and against adjacent primary ballast tanks (22a), as the secondary ballast tanks (22b) show a radial extension greater than a dimensioning, maximum damage depth extension for the hull (1).
