Direct Answer
Option B: The ship’s net volume on board at normal temperature & pressure on completion of loading is compared with the net volume on board at normal temperature & pressure prior to the commencement of discharge emptying and filling losses.
Theoretical in-transit losses are calculated by comparing the ship's net volume at standard temperature after loading with the net volume at standard temperature before discharge, accounting for emptying and filling losses, as detailed in the P&A Manual for cargo accounting.
