A low temperature tank is suspended in an outer shell or container by a pality of straps of fiber compound materials. Each strap comprises a plurality of individual strap elements arranged in series. The strap elements are made of different fibers whereby the strap element closest to the tank is made of a fiber material having the lowest heat expansion coefficient as compared to the heat expansion coefficient of the other elements of a strap further away from the tank. Preferably the strap elements are thermally insulated from each other. In that case the strap elements need not necessarily be made of fiber materials having different heat expansion coefficients.
