Draft surveys play a pivotal role in determining the weight of bulk cargo loaded onto or discharged from a vessel, encompassing a wide range of commodities such as iron ore, coal, steel scrap, grain, and specific quantities of liquid cargo. As a cost-effective and convenient method, draft surveys utilize readings of the vessel’s drafts and measurements of ballast water, fuel, diesel oil, and other liquids on board to calculate the final quantity using approved deadweight scales and tank tables. The difference in weights of water displaced before and after cargo transfer provides an accurate estimate of the cargo weight within specified measurement accuracy limits. For optimal accuracy, the vessel ideally maintains a stable position with minimal trim, ensuring precise measurements.
