Which intermodal container type is classified as CRYOGENIC?

• A. IM-101
• B. IM-102
• C. SPEC 51
• D. IMO TYPE 7

Answer: (D)

Cryogenic service means handling liquids at extremely low temperatures, so the container must be a specialized, insulated vessel designed to keep contents cold and safely vent boil-off gas. IMO Type 7 is built specifically for cryogenic liquids, with a vacuum-insulated design, an inner vessel capable of very low temperatures, and a venting system to manage pressure as gases boil off. This makes it the container type classified for cryogenic service. The other options are not designed for cryogenic temperatures: IM-101 and IM-102 are non-pressurized tanks for general liquids, while SPEC 51 is a different specification that does not define the standard cryogenic intermodal tank.
