UN high commander
Some years ago I was doing some insurance work for a Japanese second hand metal company. The main trader I shall call John. John was half Lebanese. Not sure if that is relevant. Anyways, we "did lunch". turns out John the second hand metal trader used to be in charge of procurement for the UN compound in Mogadishu. Yeah right. Based on that and me being in marine insurance the topic naturally got round to various wars and ships and I told John a true story of the Iran Iraq war where an LPG ship got bombed and the bomb didn't go off, but sat in the double hull surrounded by thousands of tons of liquid LPG.
Scroll on a few weeks and we have another meeting, and (Yippee) another lunch, at which John tells me the exact story about the LPG carrier I told him except this time he chartered the ship and was responsible for getting the bomb removed.
I wanted his business so I never did tell him what a bunty futtock he was
Length? Went on and on and on

Liquid LPG?
That's something special.

Liquid LPG
No
thats how they transport LPG. you cool it till it turns liquid then bung it in big chilled insulated ships. incidentally that's why the bomb didn't go off. it had frozen

yes...
but isn't the 'L' in 'LPG' 'Liquid'...?
I think that's the point.
It's like 'PIN Number'...

The 'L' in LPG
Is for 'Liquified'.

'Liquid Petroleum Gas' wouldn't make much sense either.
