32 Existing Fleet -- Inland Ammonia All existing anhydrous ammonia barges are of semi- pressurized design, carrying liquefied anhydrous ammonia under pressure at −28°F in tanks built to about 40 psi test pressure. This design is analogous to semi-refrigerated LPG carriers, in which the pressure rating of cargo tanks can be less since cargo pressure is much reduced due to low temperature, in contrast to cargoes kept in a liquid state by pressure alone.

33 The researchers investigated the existing fleet of articulated tug/barges (ATBs) and did not find any that would be capable of carrying anhydrous ammonia or chlorine.
