In this seminar, Ko Minnaard will touch upon the basic chemistry of liquified gas, existing carriage conditions and the types of LPG, Ethylene and LNG tankers. Whilst making that stroll through the types of vessels, we will come along various technical equipment typically present on board of liquefied gas tankers and discuss their purpose and main working characteristics. Finally, we will describe some of the gas sampling equipment that can be seen and the peculiarities of the cargo calculations.

All the above in light of the typical differences between the transportation of liquefied gas and that of the maybe better known oil- and chemical tankers.
