Volume of tank = 5040 m3
3 % of Volume = 151.2 m3
1)Observed Volume of cargo( @ 23 deg Cel ) = (5040 - (5040/100)*3) =4888.8 m3
2)Standard Volume ( @ 15 Deg Cel ) = 4888.8 x 0.9929 = 4854.0894 m3
3)Standard weight ( @ 15 Deg Cel in Vaccum) = 4854.0894 x0.81 =3931.8125 Tonnes ( in Vaccum)
4)Standard weight ( @ 15 Deg Cel in Air) =4854.0894 x0.8089= 3926.47291 Tonnes( in Air)
REVERSE CALCULATION FOR FINDING VOLUME AT DISCHARGE PORT
1)Standard Volume ( @ 15 Deg Cel ) = 4888.8 x 0.9929 = 4854.0894 m3
2)Volume at 42 deg cel =( Standard vol /0.9761) = 4854.0894 /0.9761 =4972.9427 m3
3) Load Port and Dis Port Volume Difference = + 84.14273 m3 ( If temp rise, Vol Increase)
4) Tank Innage at Discharge Port = 4972.9427 / (21x15 ) = 15.79 m
5) Discharge Port Ullage = 1 + (16-15.79) = 1.21 m


1) Total Vol of tank: LxBxH = 21m x 15m x 16m = 5040 m3
2) 3% left for expansion. so max we can load is 5040m3 - 3% of 5040m3 = 4888.8m3. 4888.8m3 is the GOV at 42 deg C. ( i.e the max vol cargo should reach @ 42degC)
3) GOV x VCF = Std vol @ 15degC so 4888.8 x 0.9761 (vcf for 42degC) = 4771.9577 m3 @ 15degC
4) Now with this std vol we have to get the GOV for 23degC. This is because we have to load the cargo at 23deg C so we have to consider GOV for same temperature. Std vol / VCF = GOV which will be 4771.9577 / 0.9929 = 4806.0809 m3. (VCF considered here is for 23degC as we need GOV for same temp which the cargo has to be loaded).
5) So cargo to be loaded @ 23degC = 4806.0809 m3, which in metric ton will be GOV x VCF x WCF = 4806.0809 x 0.9929 x 0.8099 = 3860.0366 MT.
6) For final ullage, final vol i.e GOV @ 23degC (the loadport temp) is 4806.0809m3. VOL = LxBxH so 4806.0809 = 21x15x(ht of cargo). so ht of cargo = 15.2574m. FINAL ULLAGE = Height of tank + height of ullage point - height of cargo = 16m + 1m - 15.2574m = 1.7426m
Note: Ullages mentioned in ullage tables are against the gross observed volume of tank.

3 % of Volume = 151.2 m3
- Observed Volume of cargo( @ 23 deg Cel ) = (5040 - (5040/100)*3) =4888.8 m3
- Standard Volume ( @ 15 Deg Cel ) = 4888.8 x 0.9929 = 4854.0894 m3
- Standard weight ( @ 15 Deg Cel in Vaccum) = 4854.0894 x0.81 =3931.8125 Tonnes ( in Vaccum)
- Standard weight ( @ 15 Deg Cel in Air) =4854.0894 x0.8089= 3926.47291 Tonnes( in Air)
REVERSE CALCULATION FOR FINDING VOLUME AT DISCHARGE PORT
