The International Code for the Construction and Equipment of Ships Carrying Liquefied Gases in Bulk (IGC Code) applies to gas carriers constructed on or after1 July 1986. Gas carriers constructed before that date should comply with the requirements of the Code for the Construction and Equipment of Ships Carrying Liquefied Gases in Bulk or the Code for Existing Ships Carrying Liquefied Gases in Bulk.


Gas carriers are classified into three main types based on the hazardous nature of cargo:
1G : designed for most hazardous cargo
2G & 2PG: designed for lesser degree of hazard (mostly LPG and LNG)
3G : designed for least degree of hazard
