Description: Marine transport is the backbone of the global trade and reasonably can be considered to be the artery of the global manufacturing supply chain, as more than four fifths of the world merchandise trade by volume is carried by sea. Undoubtfully, the working horse of merchant shipping industry is the Bulk carrier’s fleet.
An essential part of each merchant sea-trade is the correct determination of the cargo loaded/discharged from/to the transporting unit. Draft surveys are used to determine the weight of bulk cargo such as iron ore, coal, steel scrap, grain and some specific quantities of liquid cargo loaded onto, or discharged from, a vessel.
