A key consideration in the safe transportation of LNG is designing and building a tank truck that will keep the lading in the tank during normal travel, and, within reasonable limits, following upsets and during fires. Some important tank truck design features are reviewed along with the merits of some of the proposed regulations published by CGA and U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT).
