>> If you own, operate, survey or
deal with vessels carrying crude oil and petroleum products, you need Shipboard
Petroleum Surveys. This unique illustrated guide, now in its second
edition, explains how good shipboard survey practice can significantly reduce
the risk of shortage and contamination claims arising from loading or
discharging crude oil and petroleum products.
>> It recommends a range of
quantitative and qualitative monitoring and recording techniques which
should enable potential loss or contamination problems to be identified at an
early stage and remedied cost effectively. The guide is designed to be used
with standard industry guidelines including the API Manual of Petroleum Measurement Standards and the Energy Institute Hydrocarbon Management procedures.
>> Advice is given on how to avoid
errors when calibrating vessels. Recommendations for shipboard operating
and logging procedures are also provided. The confusing terminology and
acronyms associated with shipping oil cargoes are explained and the pitfalls
of using the ASTM/IP Petroleum Measurement Tables identified.
>> Written by Anthony Severn,
international oil claims expert with London commodity and bulk cargo
consultancy CWA Consultants, and international mutual marine liability insurer
the North of England P&I Association.
First published in 1995, the guide was comprehensively updated to
reflect the latest industry developments in 2009.
