We read the vessel's drafts before and after loading or discharge to calculate the cargo quantity moved.

An inspector reads the draft marks forward, midships and aft on both sides of the hull. We then account for ballast, fresh water and fuel on board and work through the vessel's tables to calculate the weight of cargo loaded or discharged. It is the usual way to measure bulk cargo when there is no shore scale.

We gauge the vessel's fuel tanks before and after bunkering, correct the readings for trim, list and temperature, and compare the result with the supplier's delivery note. Any difference is recorded in the report.
