What is the designation for a vessel that carries liquefied gases?

The designation for a vessel that carries liquefied gases is MC 307/DOT 407. These containers are specifically designed to handle the transport of hazardous materials, particularly those that are in liquid form under pressure. MC 307 vessels are typically used for low-pressure liquefied gases, such as anhydrous ammonia or other chemicals that need to be transported in a liquid state but are not under high pressure.

Understanding the types of vessels and their designations is crucial for ensuring compliance with transportation regulations and maintaining safety during hazardous material handling. This type of vessel includes features tailored for the unique properties of liquefied gases, thereby ensuring the secure transport of such materials while minimizing risks associated with leaks or structural failures.

In contrast, the other designations refer to different types of tankers with varied purposes and construction specifications tailored to carry different types of substances or mixtures but are not designated for liquefied gases.
