A new publication from the UK P&I focuses on one of the major sources of cargo-related claims in the tanker sector – cargo shortage.
`How to prevent tanker cargo shortage claims', subtitled `The cause of claims and how to avoid them during pre-loading, loading and unloading,' follows on and complements the recently published UK Club `Tanker Contamination Claims Checklist'.
This publication identifies the main causes of cargo loss, the discrepancy between what was loaded and what was discharged, arising from both on board and shoreside failings and compiles the key points to consider in several distinct sections running from the pre-loading phase through to discharge.
It begins by considering whether the vessel is suitable for the nominated cargo(es) to be loaded. Ensuring, so far as practical, whether the charterers have provided adequate information, cargo planning and maintaining records during loading and on passage are all detailed.
Any meeting with terminal staff should not be limited to filling out cargo and safety checklists, said the Club. It is in the vessel's interest for the chief officer to take these opportunities to build a strong working relationship with shore personnel. Likewise a good relationship should be developed with the cargo inspector.
Establishing the amount of cargo loaded is of course critical. Claims for alleged shortages after completion of discharge are always based on the difference between the net bill of lading and outturn quantities in the first instance.
Even if both terminals carry out their measurements diligently, each will (quite legally) round off temperature and ullage readings in its favour, so differences are only to be expected.
In general, the bill of lading quantity may be overstated and the outturn quantity may be understated. In the absence of a like for like comparison, the vessel is the only common factor and therefore the measurements taken on board are extremely important, warned the UK Club.
The checklist also points out that cargo inspectors are, like all of us, human and therefore do from time to time make errors. Causes of errors and how to avoid them are detailed.
When unloading, again a good relationship with the cargo inspector at the discharge port is essential, the club said.
The checklist, which comes in an easy to carry form, was produced by the UK P&I Club with the assistance of Capt David Payne of Associated Petroleum Consultants.
The club also reminded owners of the existence of a DVD - `Tanker Matters'. This focuses on some of the most frequent causes of tanker cargo claims and how to avoid them. The DVD can be viewed continuously, or scene by scene.

How to calculate CBM & Freight Ton
One of the most common questions i get asked is how to calculate CBM, specially by those clients who get charged per Freight Ton (weight or volume whichever is higher)
Firstly CBM stands for CuBic Meter.. This is the most common unit used for the measurement of volumetric cargo..
When you have the dimensions of the package, first of all convert the measurement into meters.. Normally dimensions are in Length x Width x Height..
If for example the dimensions are 3.2 x 1.2 x 2.2 meters then the CBM is simply 3.2 x 1.2 x 2.2 = 8.448 cbm..
As mentioned above if the rate is quoted as for example Usd.12/per freight ton and the weight of the package is 1200 kgs = 1.2 tons, then the freight rate for this will be
8.448 cbm x Usd.12 = Usd.101.376 or
1.2 tons x Usd.12 = Usd.14.4
Since the cbm rate is higher, the freight rate of Usd.101.376 will apply..
For easy conversion of anything to anything – pls refer to http://www.onlineconversion.com/
Gas Free Survey Procedure
Guidelines for Preparing Vessel for Gas-Free Inspection
To enable the vessel to enter port or shipyard for repair without delay, the Master, when
preparing the vessel for certifying free from flammable vapour (gas-free inspection), is
required to ensure that the following important requirements are complied with:
(a) Prior to the inspection of a vessel, which has carried Class A or Class B petroleum in
bulk, the master is required to certify that all empty cofferdams and all the compartments,
pumps and pipelines which contained petroleum have since the last discharge of such
petroleum.
(b) All compartments (including cargo tanks, pump-rooms, cofferdams, and void spaces) to
be opened and freed from liquid petroleum and petroleum vapour. As far as possible they
must also be freed from water, sediment, scale and rust or anything which might retain
petroleum or its vapour.
(c) All valves on cargo lines (including vapour lines if available), both in the tanks and on
deck should be opened and blank flanges removed.
(d) Consistent with docking requirements, permanent segregated ballast tanks are allowed
to be in ballast before issuing the gas free certificate.
(e) All slops on board have been discharged and that the slop tanks and any available
residue tank onboard are thoroughly cleaned, ventilated and free from flammable vapour.
The following points are often overlooked by the Master of the vessel and the cause of gasfree
certification not being issued:
(a) Gas-Freeing of cofferdams (the fact that a cofferdam is normally kept full of water does
not mean that it is gas-free).
(b) Available vapour line openings on deck were not opened at the time of inspection.
(c) Washing of pipelines, including crossovers and other possible ‘dead ends’ and complete
draining thereof.
(d) Removal of sediment, sludge and scale (especially on stringers and similar places).
(e) Cleaning of heating-coils.
(f) Cleaning of manifold lines (including the drip trays).
(g) Emptying of pump-room bilges.
The Inspector /Surveyor will inspect the following parts of the vessel with a combustible
gas indicator to determine the presence of flammable vapour:
(i) Pipeline including vapour line openings on deck;
(ii) All empty cargo tanks;
(iii) Cofferdams or void spaces;
(iv) Pump-rooms;
(v) Ballast tanks (if not fully filled with water);
(vi) Slop tanks, residue tank; and
(vii) Bunker tanks (if the vessel is to enter a shipyard).
A Gas-Free Certificate will be issued to the Master of the vessel only if the Inspector of
Petroleum is completely satisfied that items (i) to (vi) mentioned in para 4 above are free
from flammable vapour. This certificate will only permit the vessel to proceed to other
anchorages within the port. If a Gas-Free Certificate for entering a shipyard is required, in
addition to being satisfied that items (i) to (vi) are free from flammable vapour.
The Gas-Free Certificate is valid for a period of 7 days from the date of issue.
Should the Certificate expire or any change in the condition occurred, it is necessary for the
Inspector /Surveyor to re-inspect the vessel and a new Certificate issued thereupon. It is
the responsibility of the Master of the vessel to monitor the expiry date and the condition
and should the Certificate expire or any change occur. It is the responsibility of the Master
of the vessel to inform the Inspector ?Surveyor through the vessel's agent in order that a
further inspection be carried out.

7. A Guide to the Carriage of Steel Cargo by The Standard Club: When carrying steel products by sea, it is essential to ensure that neither the steel nor the ship suffers damage, that the ship is fit to receive cargo and that the cargo is safely stowed and secured. Steel is a high-value cargo, a cargo easily damaged by rough handling, water and moisture. Its weight presents substantial challenges with stowage and securing. This guide aims to provide an insight into the correct method of loading, stowing and securing steel cargoes. Its advice, if followed, will assist in the avoidance and prevention of steel cargo damage claims.

9. Master’s Guide to Hatchcover Maintenance by The Standard Club: It is the aim of this guide to explain the key issues of hatch cover security and to steer mariners towards active maintenance. It is less expensive to keep hatch covers weathertight by regular maintenance and attention to detail, than to pay claims for wet-damaged cargo. It is crucial for safety at sea and protection of the environment to maintain hatch cover weathertightness and strength. This guide concerns steel hatch covers fitted with cleats, compression bars and gaskets.

- Guidelines for Surveyors Conducting Pre-Shipment Inspection of Steel Cargoes
Author: International Institute of Marine Surveyors
Price: £20.00
Loss prevention should always be perceived as being more beneficial than claims handling and it is in the category of loss prevention that the steel pre-shipment inspection falls. A leading P & I Club recently reported that claims on steel cargoes still amounted to 11% of total claims on dry cargo and was therefore regarded as continuing to be a problem area. The need for accurate clausing of Mate’s receipts / bills of lading is therefore apparent and the best possible way to achieve this is by means of an accurate pre-shipment inspection of the cargo.
