Draught Surveys: A Guide to Good Practice (Second Edition)
The accurate measurement of dry bulk cargoes by a ship considerably minimises the risk of shortage claims and disputes. This guide outlines the methods and corrections for a draught survey to be carried out to the required accuracy. It is supported by draught measurement calculations and illustrations which show best practice.
This publication is useful to surveyors as it recommends procedures and formulae for every stage of a draught survey. Practical guidance is given through worked examples, such as those relating to the misplacement of draught marks. UN ECE draught survey forms have been included to encourage standardisation throughout the industry.
