LNG and LPG carriers compared

How the two main gas carrier types differ in cargo, tank containment and the conditions that keep their cargo liquid.

LNG carrier

  • CargoLiquefied natural gas
  • TanksMembrane or spherical Moss tanks
  • OperationsKept liquid by cooling to about −162 °C
LPG carrier with pressurised cylindrical cargo tanks on deck

LPG carrier

  • CargoLiquefied petroleum gas (propane, butane)
  • TanksPressurised or semi-refrigerated tanks
  • OperationsKept liquid by pressure, by cooling, or both
Key difference

LNG = cryogenic natural gas, about −162 °C | LPG = pressurised or refrigerated gas
