Cargo calculations
The volume of cargo on board can bedetermined by means of soundings or ullagemeasurements and calibration tables (tanktables)
The purpose of the cargo calculations is toconvert the observed volume into weight
Calculation of trim, stability, freeboard, shearforces, bending moments is based on weights
On the B/L the quantity of cargo is stated as aweight (Metric Tons , Long Tons, Short Tons,
Pounds, etc. )

When making the
stowage plan a lot of
information has to
be gathered, a lot of
factors have to be
taken into account
Cargo calculationsare important
because they are the

Cargo calculation
maximum filling limits IMO specifies maximum filling limits as follows:
Vl = 0.98 V dr/dt Vl is the max volume to which the tank can be loaded
V is the total volume of the tank Dr is the density of the cargo at ref. temperature
Reference temperature = boiling temperature at relief valvesetting pressure (the highest temperature that can be reachedduring the voyage, highest temperature = smallest density)
Dt is the density of the cargo at the loading temperaturePS. Liquefied gas is always transported at the boiling temperature, atthis temperature liquid and gas are in equilibrium. Boiling temperature isdetermined by the pressure in the tank. Boiling temperature rises withthe pressure and the pressure will never get higher than the relief valvesetting.

Example:
Fully ref. vessel loading propane at42C.
Relief valves set at 0.25barg (bar gauge =relative pressure)Absolute pressure: 0.25+1.0 = 1.25 bar
Ref. temperature (corresponding to SVP, Saturated
Vapour Pressure, 1.25 bara for propane) = -375C Density of liquid propane dr = 0.5765 @ -375C
Density of liquid propane dt = 0.582 @ -42C
Vl =0.98 V 0.5765 / 0.582 = 0.97 V
Thus tanks can be filled to 97%

Principle of Archimedes
Physical law of buoyancy, discovered bythe ancient Greek mathematician and
inventor Archimedes, stating that anybody completely or partially submerged ina fluid (gas or liquid) at rest is acted upon
by an upward, or buoyant, force themagnitude of which is equal to the weightof the fluid displaced by the body.

Principle of Archimedes
A ship that is launched sinks into theocean until the weight of the water it
displaces is just equal to its own weight(). As the ship is loaded, it sinks deeper,displacing more water, and so the
magnitude of the buoyant forcecontinuously matches the weight of theship and its cargo.

Cargo calculations going from total observed volume toweight in air using VCF
Met ullage en trim ga je in tanktabellen en vind je het geobserveerde volume. Dit is zonder
rekening te houden met temperatuur of densiteit. Vervolgens ga je met trim en dip nog eens in de
tabellen en heb je berekend hoeveel water er onder je lading zit. Hiervoor wil niemand betalen enze wordt dus met het geobserveerde volume vermindert. Zo bekom je het gross observed volume.
Vervolgens doe je een aanpassing voor de temperatuur en de densisteit, je vindt zo de VCF factor,
deze moet je met de gross observed volume vermeerderen. We bekomen zo ons volume. Als we
nu nog een omzetting naar vacuum moeten doen, dan komt hier nog een vacuumfactor bij. Enkel
met vacuum werken als men de hoeveelheden aan de wal bekend maakt, voor de rest verder
werken in air.

calculations on board of an oil- or chemical
carrier On board of a fully- or semi refrigerated gas
carriers temperatures are very low.
These low temperatures have an influence on
the volume of the tank itself and on the theullaging equipment, being the floater and theperforated tape (in case of a mechanical ullagingdevice)

Cargo calculations on board of a
gas carrier In a loaded gas tank an equilibrium exists
between the cargo in the liquid phase and
the cargo in the gas phase. Consequently a not negligible part of the
cargo is gaseous

Shore measurements versus

accurate as ship measurementsShore tanks have a greater cross-section =>
greater relative errorDuring cargo handling operations a certain
pressure has to be maintained in the shoretanks => vapours of different origins can beused.Vapour flow from other shore tanks

approach.
The weight-in-air of the liquid change in theshore tank is evaluated from measurementsbefore and after transfer and 0.43 % (only forpropane and butane in fully ref. condition) of
the weight-in-air of the liquid transferred issubtracted or added to account for the vaporweight replacing the liquid transferred.

MOLE = also spelled MOL, in chemistry, astandard scientific unit for measuringlarge quantities of very small entities such asatoms, molecules, or other specified particles.
The mole designates an extremely large numberof units, 6.0221367 x 1023, which is the number
of atoms determined experimentally to be foundin 12 grams of carbon-12.

MOLE or MOL
Carbon-12 was chosen arbitrarily to serve as thereference standard of the mole unit for theInternational System of Units (SI). The number ofunits in a mole also bears the nameAvogadro'snumber, orAvogadro's constant, inhonour of the Italian physicist Amedeo Avogadro(1776-1856). Avogadro proposed that equal
volumes of gases under the sameconditions contain the same number ofmolecules, , a hypothesis that proved useful indetermining atomic and molecular weights and
which led to the concept of the mole.

y Some modern terminals are being
equipped with sophisticated liquid andvapour flow metering with associatedin-line sampling. The equipmentpresently is expensive and requires
complicated proving arrangements.However, this method allows flow rateand density to be continuously recordedat the flow temperature and, bycombining these outputs electronically,mass flow rate can be provided andintegrated to give total mass

Quantity calculations on boardof LNG carriers
Ultrasonic flow measurement uses the transittime principle, whereby oppositesending and receiving transducers are used to
transmit signals through the flow.The signal travels faster when moving with theflow stream rather than againstthe flow stream. The difference between the two
transit times is used to calculatethe flow rate.

Cargo documentation
B/L is the most important cargo document Enables the cargo receiver to assess if the
proper quantity has been discharged
Before departure from the loadingterminal the shipmaster should ensurethat the B/L quantities accuratelyrepresent the cargo loaded
The master should be sure that cargocalculation records made at loading anddischarge are properly prepared

Bill of Lading
A Bill of Lading is a document signed by theshipmaster at the port of loading.
It details the type and quantity of cargo loaded,the name of the ship and the name of the cargoreceiver.
The Bill of Lading has three functions. It is:
The shipmaster's receipt for cargo loadedA document of title for the cargo described in it
Evidence that a Contract of Carriage(such as a voyagecharter party) exists

Bill of Lading
By signing the document, the shipmaster atteststo the apparent good order and condition of thecargo loaded.
By signing the Bill of Lading, the shipmasteragrees to the quantity of cargo loaded
In some circumstances, where the Bill of Lading
quantities do not match the ship's figure, theshipmaster may be expected to issue a Letter ofProtestat the loading port.

Bill of Lading
Whoever possesses the Bill of Lading rightfullyowns the cargo.
The old practice of issuing three original Bills ofLading has been largely superseded and now itis common to find only one being issued.
Should a cargo be sold before it reaches its
destination, the Bill of Lading must be endorsedby the original cargo buyer to show the newcargo owner.

Bill of Lading
Due to delays in banking or trading chains, anendorsed original is not always to hand at thedischarge port. Accordingly, as an alternative to
presenting the original Bill of Lading to the shipmaster, a receiver may issue a Letter ofIndemnity (LOI) to the ship.

Certificate of Quantity
A Certificate of Quantity is issued by the loadingterminal as, or on behalf of, the shipper and thecargo quantities declared as loaded may be
verified by an independent cargo surveyor. Thecertificate is of assistance to the shipmaster indetermining the quantities to be inserted in theBill of Lading.
However, the quantities as stated on the Bill ofLading remain the official record of the cargo asloaded.

A Certificate of Origin is a document issuedby the manufacturer or shipper,counter-signed by the customs authorities,which attests to the country in which thecargo was produced. It may be required byfinancial authorities in the importing countryso that they may assess import taxes orgrants. Unlike the previous two certificates, itis not complementary to or supportive of theBill of Lading but its distribution to shipper,carrier and cargo receiver is similar.
