Deck General USCG Question #949 (Set 29)

Name one major advantage of transporting gas under refrigeration.

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option C — It reduces its volume.

Refrigerating liquefied gases substantially lowers their temperature, causing the vapor to condense into a liquid state. This phase change drastically reduces the volume of the cargo, allowing economic maritime transport of large quantities at atmospheric pressure.
