What is the primary hazard of liquefied petroleum gas and liquefied natural gas?
Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation
Correct Answer: Option B — flammability
Liquefied petroleum gas and liquefied natural gas are primarily hazardous due to their extreme flammability. While they are also cryogenic and pressurized, the primary risk during a containment failure is the formation of a flammable vapor cloud, which can ignite if it encounters an ignition source, leading to fire or explosion.
