The dispatch procedure is confirmed by acts of compliance with all standards of storage, loading and stowage on board the vessel. What is an additional guarantee of quality. The list of activities for a full-scale procedure includes:
- Clarification of official data on water density in the port water area.
- Study of technical documentation for the vessel (displacement, carrying capacity).
- Checking the accompanying documents (waybills) for the cargo placed on board.
- Determination of the amount of ballast and the total volume of tanks for its injection.
- Visual check of the ship's draft level at the time of control activities.
All of the above data are used to carry out accurate calculations that allow you to determine the mass of the cargo placed on the ship. The amount of time taken to check depends on the displacement of the vessel itself, the type or form of packaging (complete set, for example, containers) of the transported products and the total volume of loading (full, partial). As a rule, on large sea transport several specialists carry out the rough survey simultaneously.
