Bunker Survey Calculation

! March 27, 2010 " Faisal Yusuf # 16997 Views $ 115 Comments % bunker survey, Bunker Survey Calculation, marine cargo surveyor, marine survey

The bunker calculation is simple and needs the following:

– Tank Sounding data and Tank Capacity Table. The Corrected Sounding means below is the sounding after correcting with vessel’s trim and list.
– Temperature of Oil on Tanks,
– Oil Density @15*C,
– Table ASTM 54B (VCF) and Table ASTM 56 (WCF).

Now we could go with sample of 1 tank to test the calculation.

** Question :
FO Tank No. 1 Center, Corrected Sounding = 3.27 Meter,
Temperature = 34*C,and density @ 15*C = 0.9903 (given density).
Tank Volume at Sounding 3.20 M = 157.20 Cubic Meter,
at Sounding 3.30 M = 163.60 Cubic Meter.

** Answer :
– The Quantity in Metric Ton = Oil Vol x VCF x WCF,
– Observe Volume = {(3.27 – 3.20) / (3.30 – 3.20) x (163.60 – 157.20)} + 157.20
= (0.07/0.10) x (6.40) + 157.20 = 4.48 + 157.20 = 161.68 Cu.M.
– T 54B (VCF) > Density @ 15*C 0.9903 = 0.9870 (see the above picture you need to interpolate if any di!erent numbers on both columns).
ASTM Table 54B – T 56 (WCF) : Density @15*C 0.9903 = 0.9892
(Quick formula with reducing factor for WCF is Density @ 15*C – 0.0011 = 0.9903 – 0.0011 = 0.9892).
We don’t need to see the table anymore.
– So, The Quantity in MT is 161.68 x 0.9870 x 0.9892 = 157.85 MT.

Sample calculation tanks sounding attached below (the Temp below should be 34 C).

Note : If you do calculation with Volume in Barrel, just uses ASTM Table 6B for VCF, ASTM Table 11 for WCF in Long Ton and then ASTM Table 13 for WCF in
Metric Ton.

For the above calculation, you could download the software BunkerCal by follow this link http://www.sevensurveyor.com/software/bunker-calculation/

Hi.. Both Trim and List have the same mean to state unevenness condition of the vessel. Trim is stated the di!erent between fore and aft draft condition, while
List for inclination to port (left) or starboard (right). Both of them in"uence the "at of liquid surface on tanks. So, to make the surface "at, it need correction to
calculate accurately. And commonly, there is table available for list correction.

To #nd the volume @ 15*C, you only need to #nd the VCF at ASTM table 54 or 54B.

Dear Ace,

The factor is to #nd WCF (weight correction factor) for T56.

Quick formula with reducing factor for WCF is Density @ 15*C – 0.0011
example: density 0.9903 – 0.0011.
t56 = 0.9892. We don’t need to see the table anymore.

Dear Harendra,

The oil nature is the more temperture hit, the more volume reach.
If your tank capacity is 50m x 25m x 10m = 12,500 m3, you should #nd the the quantity in m3 at 1m ullage.
As per above tank, you 1m ullage is 50m x 25m x 9m = 11,250 m3.
The 11,250 m3 is the maximum volume in m3 that required for your tank.
Check the astm table for your cargo density and heating temperature. If use astm table 54b, when density 0.910 @ 20*c the factor is 0.9962.
Then 11,250 m3 x 0.9662 = 11,207.25 m3 @ 15*c.

If the heating applied, then temperature increased to 30*c and density at 0.910 the factor in astm table 54b is 0.9886, and your volume m3 will be increased to
11,207.25 m3 : 0.9886 = 11,336.49 m3. That means you have loaded excessive volume to the intended ullage.
To cope with this issue, you should calculate the #nal volume m3 after heating where:
11,250 m3 x 0.9886 = 11,121.75 m3 @ 15*c.
and 11,121.75 m3 : 0.9962 = 11,164.17 m3. Just #nd the ullage that point to 11,164.17 m3. Your cargo will be save at 1m ullage after heating.

Actually it has the simple formula;

loaded volume = volume m3 at intended ullage x VCF #nal (0.910 @ 30*c) : VCF initial (0.910 @ 20*c)
11,250 m3 x 0.9886 : 0.9962 = 11,164.17 m3.

Surveyors

Mr. A,

The Bunkering Process is commonly as the transfering oil from one ship to another. The process is simple, the feeder ship or barge that carried oil, will be
alongside at the ship that needs the oil (lets say it mother). After alongside, the feeder will prepare the pump and hose to connecting to the mother ship
manifold. The mother tanks and/or "owmeter is checked and prepared by the ship crews. When all preparation is completed, the feeder will start to pump the
oil to the mother tank as amount agreed. The quantity agreed could be ascertained by sounding or pointed by "owmeter. After completing the transfer, the
tanks or "owmeter will re-check to get the quantity. Then the feeder cast o!.

Dear Tyler,

Thanks for your correction, it was mistyped and should be 3.20. I have changed it on the mentioned post.

thanks very useful step by step but please explain why you use 3.05 (where does it come from) in below part

Observe Volume = {(3.27 – 3.20) / (3.30 – 3.05) x (163.60 – 157.20)} + 157.20 = (0.07/0.10) x (6.40) + 157.20 = 4.48 + 157.20 = 161.68 Cu.M.

Hi Ixora,

The ullage and sounding are only the method to #nd the level of liquid on the tank. After #nding the liquid level, you could use the calculation for both with
same formula.

dear Faisal,

it is this bunker calculation can be used in ullage or sounding calculation.

hello surveyors,

i do understand everything but , i dont understand is how ure getting the 0.9892@34 C, you have not shown the T56 table here its very confusing here with
WCF. WITH REFERNCE TO THE EXAMPLE ABOVE IVE COPIED THE CONFUSING PORTION BELOW

“”T 56 (WCF) : Density @15C 0.9903 at 34 C = 0.9892 (Quick formula with reducing factor for WCF is Density @ 15C – 0.0011 = 0.9903 – 0.0011 = 0.9892). We
don’t need to see the table anymore””

Dear Indran,

I have published two posts about bunker survey, you could re-read http://sevensurveyor.com/2010/02/22/how-to-conduct-bunker-survey/ and
http://sevensurveyor.com/2010/03/27/bunker-survey-calculation/.
Then you could download at downloading sidebar on my website the “Bunker survey guide.pdf” and “MEASUREMENT OF PETROLEUM ON BOARD MARINE
VESSELS.pdf”.
The four resources is good enough to guide you for conducting bunker survey.

If you are serious, you could learn by joining the survey company in your country as well.

Sadanad,

Brie"y, I can a!ord you with the calculation you meant. For the complete one, may be post later.

Example with Capacity Table :

Fuel Tank No. 1C.

Sounding : 1.50 M or 1,500 MM.

Vessel’s Trim : 1.00 M.
Vessel List : 1.0 degree to Starboard Side.

Trim Correction for Tank No. 1C in MM

——————————– TRIM ——————————–
SOUNDING …… -1.00 / 0.00 / 1.00 / 2.00 / …
…. 1.00 …………… -200 / 000 / 200 / 400 / …
…. 2.00 …………… -600 / 000 / 400 / 600 / …
…. 3.00 …………… -600 / 000 / 600 / 800 / …

List Correction for Tank No. 1C in MM

——————————— PORT / STARBOARD ————
LIST ….. / 3.0 / 2.0 / 1.0 / 0.0 / 1.0 / 2.0 / 3.0 / …
Corr …… 300 / 200 / 100 / 000 / -100 / -200 / -300 /

From the both tables we could get the corrected sounding as below :

Corrected Sounding (CS) = Sounding (S) + Trim Correction (TC) + List Correction (LC)

TC at S 1.50 M and Trim at 1.00 M is 300 MM (by Interpolation)

LC at List 1.0 degree to starboard (the right part beside 0.0 degree) is -100 MM.

CS = S + TC + LC.
CS = 1500 + 300 +(-100) = 1,800 – 100 = 1,700 MM or 1.70 M.

That’s all..
