gas tanker

Petroleum transport vehicle

A gas tanker is a vehicle or ship designed to transport gas in bulk.

On roads, gas tankers carry liquefied petroleum gas or other compressed gases in cylindrical pressure vessels.

At sea, gas tankers—distinct from oil tankers—transport liquefied natural gas or similar cargo in specialized insulated or pressurized tanks: The gas tanker arrived at the terminal to offload its cargo.
