A fuel storage tank according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises: a main body part which is arranged in the rear of a container inner hold, stores liquefied gas therein, and has an opening part; a dome which is formed in the opening part of the main body part to form an entrance of the main body part; and a dome casing which surrounds the dome, wherein the liquefied gas stored in the main body part is fuel to be supplied to an engine. Therefore, the present invention improves fuel efficiency, lowers exhaust gas, and improves operation efficiency as a container ship uses an engine using liquefied gas instead of gasoline or diesel, and improves space utilization by optimizing the arrangement of the fuel storage tank, a fuel supply part, an engine room, and a container inner hold. 본 발명의 일 실시예에 따른 연료저장탱크는 컨테이너 인홀드의 후방에 배치되고, 엔진으로 공급되는 연료인 액화가스가 저장되며 개구부가 형성되는 본체부; 상기 본체부의 개구부에 마련되어 상기 본체부의 입출구를 형성하는 돔; 및 상기 돔 주변을 두르는 돔케이싱을 포함하는 것을 특징으로 한다. 본 발명에 따른 연료저장탱크 및 이를 포함하는 컨테이너선은, 가솔린이나 디젤을 대체하여 컨테이너선에서 액화가스를 이용한 엔진을 사용하므로, 연비가 높아지고 배출가스는 낮아지며 운항 효율이 향상될 수 있으며, 연료저장탱크, 연료공급부, 엔진룸, 컨테이너 인홀드의 배치를 최적화함으로써 공간활용성을 증대할 수 있다.
