Three Things You Didn't Know About Shipping Natural Energy
Coal is the Biggest Bulk Commodity on Earth
Coal is still the most widely shipped dry bulk material globally, often accounting for 30-40% of all dry bulk trade.
Natural Gas is Cooled to -259.6 Fahrenheit for Transport
Natural gas is shipped as Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) - cooling it to this temperature shrinks its volume by 600 times, making it practical to transport.
Oil Shipping Requires Supergiant Tankers
The largest oil tankers - ULCCs (Ultra Large Crude Carriers) - can carry over 4 million barrels of oil. That's nearly half a day's U.S. consumption in one ship.
