A soft ballast tank includes at least one flexible sleeve attached to the tank body and extending at least partially around a tank sidewall. Filling the sleeve with water establishes a desired geometry of at least a portion of the tank body for spraying interior surfaces thereof for decontamination. Hot water is used to fill the sleeve and the hot water is sprayed onto interior surfaces of the tank body through at least one nozzle communicating with the sleeve.
