Deck General USCG Question #1291 (Set 40)

Why is gas-freeing rarely required for LPG cargo tanks?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option D — The cargo tanks are used for one type of cargo only.

LPG carriers typically operate in dedicated trades where cargo tanks are used for only one type of cargo. Because there is no need to prevent cross-contamination between different products, tanks remain sealed under vapor pressure, making gas-freeing unnecessary during routine operations.
