The type of tanker known for being susceptible to boiling-liquid expanding vapor explosions (BLEVEs) is the pressurized liquefied gas tanker, specifically those carrying liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) or ammonia. These tankers are designed to transport gases that are kept in a liquid state under pressure, and if the pressure is compromised, the rapid vaporization can lead to catastrophic explosions. Proper safety measures and equipment are crucial to mitigate the risk of BLEVEs in these tankers.
