LEG Carrier

LEG carriers transport ethylene, a basic material for petrochemical products. Although ethylene is a gas under normal conditions, it is cooled down to -103°and condensed into liquid(LEG) for transportation. Therefore, the carriers need refrigeration units and other technical know-how used in marine transport.
