This process is relatively simple and has been used for other bulk commodities. It does have drawbacks, however. If the cargo has a relatively high percentage of fine particles...

... geographic locations, each location needing specific cargo items within a given time window. The study indicates how this can free up assets and reduce fuel consumption, ultimately driving cost reductions and enabling supply-chain efficiency by redeploying assets. The first use case shows the effect...

...Introduction Floating vessels such as Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) units, experience partial filling in their cargo tanks due to their continuous loading and offloading activities. These activities pose a risk to their seakeeping performance especially during inclement...

... securing of cargo is often underestimated in the industry. Additionally, the required operational Quality Assurance/ Quality Control (QAQC) procedures to be applied for a successful and safe operation are often disregarded. One of the main contributors to these issues is the lack of common guidelines...

As cargo andvessel sizes increase, a reduced number of inshore facilities can receive theselarger cargoes and vessels; thus demand for loading and discharge at offshorelocations is increasing. Also more production fields in remote locations drivethe need for offshore discharge operations...
