    What types of gas carriers are there?
    Gas carriers are divided into two main groups: Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) Carriers, which are designed to carry mainly butane, propane, butadiene, propylene, Vinyl Chloride Monomer (VCM) and are also able to carry anhydrous ammonia. Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) Carriers, which are designed to carry liquefied natural gas (which is mostly methane).
