For me it is not clear how many horizontal and vertical stiffeners tank has; note that API650 does not consider any vertical stiffeners.
Second, API650 considers for such tank min nominal thickness as 6mm for first course and 5mm for the rest of courses.
IMO you cannot apply API650 provisions, instead you may perform a FEA analysis to understand how the shell-nozzle connection responds to nozzle loads. Probably the conclusion of such exercise is that you cannot apply loads on nozzles!
