Why LNG is liquefied for sea transportation
Direct Answer
Option C: It makes it more economical to transport
Liquefying natural gas reduces its volume by a factor of approximately 600, making it economically viable for long-distance sea transportation. This process allows for the efficient storage and transport of vast energy quantities in cryogenic tanks, which is the foundational principle of the global LNG shipping industry.
