This publication is dedicated to the development of a comprehensive matrix for changing liquefied petroleum gas grades on gas carriers. The document was prepared by members of the INTERTANKO Gas Tanker Committee to create a unified, reliable, and safety-oriented approach to switching between different LPG grades. The book examines cargo change procedures, requirements for maintaining product quality, operational efficiency, and compliance with regulatory and customer requirements. Particular attention is paid to the need for on-board risk assessments and the implementation of protective measures, taking into account the design and operational characteristics of a specific vessel. The tables are supplemented with practical notes, precautions, and the experience of industry experts.
