Liquid Cargo Test 1 Practice Test

What type of tanker is designed to carry chemicals and other specialty products?

Crude carriers Parcel carriers Liquefied gas carriers Container ships

Correct Answer:

Parcel carriers

Explanation:

Tankers come in different designs based on what they carry. For chemicals and other specialty products, the design is a parcel carrier. Parcel carriers are chemical tankers built with multiple segregated cargo tanks so different chemical cargos can be loaded in separate spaces during one voyage. This segregation prevents cross-contamination and allows handling of varying properties, temperatures, and inerting needs. The other options don’t fit: crude carriers haul crude oil, liquefied gas carriers transport cryogenic or pressurized gases, and container ships haul containers rather than liquid chemicals.
