How to find out ‘True in-Transit losses’ during the voyage?

✓

Direct Answer

Option C: The ship’s gross volume at standard temperature on loading is compared with the ship’s gross volume at standard temperature prior to discharge

True in-transit losses are determined by comparing the ship's gross volume at standard temperature upon loading with the gross volume at standard temperature prior to discharge. This accounts for all volume changes during the voyage, as per P&A Manual principles.

All Options

A
The ship’s gross volume at normal temperature on loading is compared with the ship’s gross volume at normal temperature prior to discharge
B
The ship’s gross volume at atmospheric temperature on loading is compared with the ship’s gross volume at atmospheric temperature prior to discharge
C
The ship’s gross volume at standard temperature on loading is compared with the ship’s gross volume at standard temperature prior to discharge (Correct Answer)
D
The ship’s gross volume at atmospheric temperature & pressure on loading is compared with the ship’s gross volume at atmospheric temperature & pressure prior to discharge

Detailed Explanation & Context

True in-transit losses are determined by comparing the ship's gross volume at standard temperature upon loading with the gross volume at standard temperature prior to discharge. This accounts for all volume changes during the voyage, as per P&A Manual principles.
