Abstract: Marine vessel tank measurement is essentially the same as that of shore tank measurement. However, there are two situations that are common to marine vessel tanks that are not common to shore tanks. A marine vessel does not always remain upright or level in the water. However, the liquid inside the tank will always remain level. Therefore, the issues of list and trim must be taken into consideration. Marine vessels are required to discharge all of their cargo, therefore their tanks are empty, or almost empty before loading and after discharge. Caution must be exercised when measuring the small quantities on board before loading, OBQ, and after discharge, ROB.
