The plurality of walls includes a bottom wall, and a guiding structure configured to receive a tower for loading and/or unloading the liquefied gas contained in the tank. The guiding structure includes a base bearing against the load-bearing structure. The thermally insulating layer includes one self-supporting heatproof panel, and a clearance delimited by a portion of the self-supporting heatproof panel and by the load-bearing structure, the clearance being configured to accommodate part of the base of the guiding structure.
