Shipboard Petroleum Surveys. A Guide to Good Practice/Судовые нефтяные изыскания. Руководство по передовой практике

Книга на английском языке
This guide explains how good shipboard survey practice can significantly reduce the risk of shortage or contamination claims arising from loading or discharging crude oil and petroleum products. The large volumes involved and the many potential errors which can arise during custody transfer mean that close supervision is vital to avoid costly and time-consuming disputes. The guide is intended primarily for ship’s officers but will also be of value to cargo surveyors and others involved in monitoring oil cargo operations.
