SHIP INFORMATION QUESTIONNAIRE FOR GAS CARRIERS

The objective of this questionnaire is to establish a standardized approach for collecting information about ships intended for the use of owners, operators, and charterers of vessels that transport liquefied gases in bulk, as well as for the terminals that handle such ships.

The phrase "Liquefied Gas Carrier" refers to vessels specifically engineered for the transportation of pressurized or refrigerated liquefied petroleum and chemical gases that possess a vapor pressure greater than 2.8 bar absolute at a temperature of 37.8°C, along with other products detailed in chapter 19 of the IGC Code, when transported in bulk, including those chemical carriers authorized for the transport of LPG and chemical gases.

While many owners already supply a ship information questionnaire, this document offers a suitable alternative where one is not available. The use of this questionnaire is entirely at the discretion of individual ship owners, operators, charterers, terminal operators, and other relevant parties.

It is anticipated that the Questionnaire will be completed in full only once during the lifespan of a ship, with minor adjustments to the recorded data being made as necessary should management, systems, or equipment undergo changes. Throughout the Questionnaire, if alternative responses are presented in the text, the response that does not apply should be removed.
