Liquefied Gases – tanker for the carriage of condensed gases
– The gases are kept in the liquid state due to high pressures or to very low temperatures, in tanks with highly efficient insulation.
– More relevant cargo types:
• LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) - mainly methane, with that can reach the –163 ºC.
• LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) - This gases have a low boiling point (-44 to 0°C) and high vapor pressure.
