Deck General USCG Question #1309 (Set 41)

What is one major advantage of transporting gas under refrigeration?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option A — It reduces its volume.

Refrigerating natural gas to its liquid state at -162°C reduces its volume by approximately 600 times. This dramatic volume reduction makes large-scale maritime transportation economically viable, allowing vessels to carry significantly more product per voyage than in gaseous form.
