First point to consider is that all the quantities in A-3 need to be in m3
at 15 C.
While I personally do not agree with this. For example read what
MARPOL require for A-3 to be written as.
A3: Total quantity of oil loaded (State quantity

added in m3 at 15 C and total content of tanks in m3).
It does not ask the total content of tank to be in 15 C. But in the
Intertanko book, under example for “loading of cargo entry” it gives

It is a good practice to identify how many fixed machines did you use at tanks
washing and at which bar . It is bad practice used fixed machines only . Look
from scanner or polar manual which type your vessel has as a cleaning
machine . You can see at which bar one scanjet gives output quantity. For
example used 1 scanjet machine with 8 bars .

Hi Carlos, Marpol does not require you to record the source of
water taken in the cargo tanks. There is only a need to record what
you had prior disposal, how and how much was disposed. For eg.
Some folks like to record the amount of water taken for the purpose
of tankcleaning under code E 'ballasting of cargo tanks' obviously
to- this is not a correct entry. There is no need to record how much
make- water was taken for tank cleaning. Similarly there is no need to
correct- record the amount of water transferred to slops from the spill tray as
oil- you will appreciate 10 m3 and 20 M3 does not make a difference.
record- What will matter is how much quantity is now available prior
book- disposal. However if you are keen to record then such transfer from

This is a grey area but that is how chemicals tankers are operating We are still
and seem to be acceptable by various authorities. The important is you...
to make the visual inspection of the tanks and record in port log
that tanks were found to be free of any trace of oil.

How to make correct oil record book entries ?

Blog (https://www.myseatime.com/blog) SeaQA (https://www.myseatime.com/knowledgebase)

And that is incorrect oil record book entries.

That makes it so much important to make absolute correct entries in

practical situations we face during oil tanker cargo operations.

A3: Total quantity of oil loaded (State quantity

Condition 2: Loading two or more grades at one port

But before I come to that, let us take this example

Blog (https://www.myseatime.com/blog) SeaQA (https://www.myseatime.com/knowledgebase)

Loading Date: 16 March 2017

Loaded in tanks: 1W, 3W, 5W, 6W

Other conditions on Loading of cargo

Let us see how we actually need to fill this data.

Condition 4: Unloading full cargo at one

Unloaded from tanks: 1W, 4W, 6W

Unloaded from tanks: 2W, 3W, 5W

Quantity loaded: Full cargo from these tanks

this entry would be ?

Blog (https://www.myseatime.com/blog) SeaQA (https://www.myseatime.com/knowledgebase)

Now after Mumbai, vessel went to Kochi to discharge balance cargo

Second unloading port: Kochi

Tanks unloaded from: 3W, 2W

Let us see an example of how each row need to be filled in cargo

Blog (https://www.myseatime.com/blog) SeaQA (https://www.myseatime.com/knowledgebase)

There are few things that I must clarify in this entry.

Navigate Your Way

The items to record under this entry are

There is sometime a huge confusion about I-47 and I-48.

I-47: Bulk quantity discharged in m3 and rate of discharge in M3/Hr

I-48: Final quantity discharged in M3 and rate of discharge in M3/Hr

So how do we do that ? Have a look at this entry.
