According to the Hazardous Materials Table it is acceptable to ship methane, compressed or natural gas (with high methane content) by aircraft or rail. (A) True or (B) False

The HMT provides specific shipping requirements for hazardous materials, including permissible modes of transport and quantity limitations.

• Hazard Class: 2.1 (Flammable Gas)
• Column (9A) Passenger aircraft/rail: Forbidden (F)
• Column (9B) Cargo aircraft only: 75 kg

• Aircraft: While it is permitted on cargo aircraft with a quantity limit of 75 kg, it is forbidden on passenger aircraft. Therefore, a general statement that it is acceptable to ship by "aircraft" is not entirely true, as it excludes passenger aircraft.
• Rail: The "Passenger aircraft/rail" column indicates that it is forbidden for passenger rail transport. While it is generally allowed for freight rail, the blanket statement "by rail" is misleading because of the restriction on passenger rail.

The statement claims it is "acceptable to ship methane... by aircraft or rail." Since it is forbidden on passenger aircraft and passenger rail, the statement that it is generally "acceptable" without qualification is false. The restrictions mean it is not universally acceptable across all types of aircraft and rail transport.

The correct option is B).
