LNG is carried at approximately what temperature?
Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation
Correct Answer: Option D — -160 degrees C
Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) is primarily methane, which requires cryogenic temperatures to remain in a liquid state at atmospheric pressure. The standard boiling point of methane is approximately -161.5°C. Consequently, LNG carriers are engineered to maintain cargo temperatures at roughly -160°C to prevent rapid phase transition to gas.
