As the roof of the tank is not visible, it is not possible to say with certainty what kind of tank this is.

The best way to tell is to read the nameplate of the tank.  The design basis is usually given.

From the photos, I believe that this is an API 650 storage tank with internal floating roof.  The wind girder around the top is the hint that this is an open top tank and consequently I would speculate that it has an internal floating roof.

 

This is a common type of tank used for crude oil storage.

As shape of the stair, the left one is external floating roof storage tank.

Te righ one is fixed roof, but I'm not certain about internal floating roof, may it be or not. But because of long stair it's not a small tank so possibility of internal floating roof is more than simple fixed roof tanks.
