Loss Prevention in Loading Operations

Cargo losses are an inevitable part of all aspects of transportation. Over time, some industries have developed methods to minimize these losses and damages. However, in liquid transportation, advancements have been limited since the sector's early days.

The precise measurement of liquid volume and weight is a complex process. Although the use of tables and specialized software facilitates the task, allowing less experienced operators to achieve reasonable accuracy, significant discrepancies require more advanced methods. In such cases, an inspector with extensive experience and knowledge can investigate the situation and find the most appropriate solution.

Generally, problems during loading arise from inflated figures on the Bill of Lading and incorrect quality reports. In practice, the documentation often does not match the actual volumes and conditions of the cargo on board.
