Q

What is the general name given to propane, butane, and mixtures of the two?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Common industry abbreviations for different gas cargoes • Difference between liquefied petroleum gases and liquefied natural gas • How propane and butane are produced and traded

💭 Think About

• Think about which products typically come from crude oil refining and are stored in pressurized cylinders for domestic or industrial use. • Consider which option refers specifically to natural gas (mainly methane) and which refers to petroleum-based light hydrocarbons like propane and butane. • Ask yourself: when you see small gas bottles for camping or cooking, what general term is used for the gas inside?

✅ Before You Answer

• Match the option that corresponds to petroleum gases (not mainly methane). • Eliminate any choice that is clearly associated with natural gas rather than propane/butane. • Verify which abbreviation is commonly used on ship types and cargo documents for propane/butane cargoes.
