Abstract: In the past, the approach taken by the Coasl Guard to ensure the safe carriage of liquefied gases by ships was to require pressure vessel tanks capable of withstanding the cargos vapor pressure at I15F for an indefinite period- If the tanks are insulated. the design must be adequate for the vapor pressure al 105F, This is still the requirement for non-refrigerated carriage. Obviously, this is impossible in the case of liquefied natural gas or methane, as well as ethane and ethylene. Other LFGs such as butane and propane can be. and are, carried either at ambient temperature with full pressure containment, fully refrigerated at atmospheric pressure, or semi-refrigerated at some pressure above atmospheric. As a result, the Coast Guard, as early as 1957, published tentative regulations for refrigerated gas carriers.
