"Q.2 Why there is a differences between shore figure and ship figure? What is the solution?
A.2 Well, this difference causes problem in many cases; this difference is unavoidable, but there are some techniques to reduce the difference, here we just focus on very common parameters;
A.2-1 Basically ships are designed for sea water [density of 1.025 kg/cm3], which usually are not the same as water density alongside the shore.
A.2-2 Item (1) makes a discrepancy [if the ship is not in even keel position or trim 0] in reading fore and aft draft of the ship, so it causes the actual trim be differ from reading trim and finally error in observed volume defined from ship’s volume table.
A.2-3 it is recommended to read fore and aft draft in even keel position.
A.2-4 there is a difference between ship and shore tank shrinkages due to difference between ambient temperature and water temperature around the ship.
A.2-5 it is recommended to check the sounding of ship’s tanks [to check the position of datum plate] before and after loading/unloading cargo and compare them with ship’s volume table.
A.2-6 ship and shore figures are based on volume but in some places shore figure is based on scale, which is totally different method for weight calculations, which itself involve in a lot of variables."
AND further on in the same document:
Q.4 Is there any preferences between ship’s figure and shore figure?
A.4 No, it is based upon agreement, terms, and clauses in charter party, so it may change from one shipment to another.
Note that due to differences in methods of measurement and associated errors, there is a difference between ship's figure and shore figure.
So far it fits the context, the cargo is palm oil that may be reduced during the shipment. I'm thinking of translating it as volume on delivery in Indonesian.
