The bunker calculation is simple and needs the following:
– Tank Sounding data and Tank Capacity Table. The Corrected Sounding means below is the sounding after correcting with vessel’s trim and list.
– Temperature of Oil on Tanks,
– Oil Density @15*C,
– Table ASTM 54B (VCF) and Table ASTM 56 (WCF).
Now we could go with sample of 1 tank to test the calculation.
** Question :
FO Tank No. 1 Center, Corrected Sounding = 3.27 Meter,
Temperature = 34*C,and density @ 15*C = 0.9903 (given density).
Tank Volume at Sounding 3.20 M = 157.20 Cubic Meter,
at Sounding 3.30 M = 163.60 Cubic Meter.
** Answer :
– The Quantity in Metric Ton = Oil Vol x VCF x WCF,
– Observe Volume = {(3.27 – 3.20) / (3.30 – 3.20) x (163.60 – 157.20)} + 157.20
= (0.07/0.10) x (6.40) + 157.20 = 4.48 + 157.20 = 161.68 Cu.M.
– T 54B (VCF) > Density @ 15*C 0.9903 = 0.9870 (see the above picture you need to interpolate if any different numbers on both columns).
ASTM Table 54B – T 56 (WCF) : Density @15*C 0.9903 = 0.9892
(Quick formula with reducing factor for WCF is Density @ 15*C – 0.0011 = 0.9903 – 0.0011 = 0.9892).
We don’t need to see the table anymore.
– So, The Quantity in MT is 161.68 x 0.9870 x 0.9892 = 157.85 MT.
Sample calculation tanks sounding attached below (the Temp below should be 34 C).
Note : If you do calculation with Volume in Barrel, just uses ASTM Table 6B for VCF, ASTM Table 11 for WCF in Long Ton and then ASTM Table 13 for WCF in Metric Ton.
For the above calculation, you could download the software BunkerCal by follow this link https://www.sevensurveyor.com/software/bunker-calculation/
Just drop your comments around this topic.

If this calculation is valid for both Marine Fuel Oil as well as Gas/Diesel Oil? I mean use of same table ASTM 54B for the VCF of Bunker Fuel oil as well as Marine Gas/Diesel oil same is the case with both oils WCF i-e densit at 15 deg C – 0.0011?
Kindly reply.

Dear Surveyor, Good day.
Could you explain why Vessel use density in AIR when they calculated FO in storage tanks and use density in VAC when they calculated fuel cargo ? For example in Russia all bunker suppliers use density in VAC for this purpose.
Thank you in advance.

Hi.. Both Trim and List have the same mean to state unevenness condition of the vessel. Trim is stated the different between fore and aft draft condition, while List for inclination to port (left) or starboard (right). Both of them influence the flat of liquid surface on tanks. So, to make the surface flat, it need correction to calculate accurately. And commonly, there is table available for list correction.
October 20, 2016
hi dear i’m new in this indutry so i want to know if there’s anyrelation betwen the list and the calculation of trim

Dear Ace,
The factor is to find WCF (weight correction factor) for T56.
Quick formula with reducing factor for WCF is Density @ 15*C – 0.0011
example: density 0.9903 – 0.0011.
t56 = 0.9892. We don’t need to see the table anymore.

dear all,
im looking for relation direct between density at 15 and density observed,
by this way: Density 15=f (Dobs,T)
and tanks.
October 18, 2011
Dear Harendra,
The oil nature is the more temperture hit, the more volume reach.
If your tank capacity is 50m x 25m x 10m = 12,500 m3, you should find the the quantity in m3 at 1m ullage.
As per above tank, you 1m ullage is 50m x 25m x 9m = 11,250 m3.
The 11,250 m3 is the maximum volume in m3 that required for your tank.
Check the astm table for your cargo density and heating temperature. If use astm table 54b, when density 0.910 @ 20*c the factor is 0.9962.
Then 11,250 m3 x 0.9662 = 11,207.25 m3 @ 15*c.
If the heating applied, then temperature increased to 30*c and density at 0.910 the factor in astm table 54b is 0.9886, and your volume m3 will be increased to
11,207.25 m3 : 0.9886 = 11,336.49 m3. That means you have loaded excessive volume to the intended ullage.
To cope with this issue, you should calculate the final volume m3 after heating where:
11,250 m3 x 0.9886 = 11,121.75 m3 @ 15*c.
and 11,121.75 m3 : 0.9962 = 11,164.17 m3. Just find the ullage that point to 11,164.17 m3. Your cargo will be save at 1m ullage after heating.
Actually it has the simple formula;
loaded volume = volume m3 at intended ullage x VCF final (0.910 @ 30*c) : VCF initial (0.910 @ 20*c)
11,250 m3 x 0.9886 : 0.9962 = 11,164.17 m3.

Mr. A,
The Bunkering Process is commonly as the transfering oil from one ship to another. The process is simple, the feeder ship or barge that carried oil, will be alongside at the ship that needs the oil (lets say it mother). After alongside, the feeder will prepare the pump and hose to connecting to the mother ship manifold. The mother tanks and/or flowmeter is checked and prepared by the ship crews. When all preparation is completed, the feeder will start to pump the oil to the mother tank as amount agreed. The quantity agreed could be ascertained by sounding or pointed by flowmeter. After completing the transfer, the tanks or flowmeter will re-check to get the quantity. Then the feeder cast off.

“”T 56 (WCF) : Density @15C 0.9903 at 34 C = 0.9892 (Quick formula with reducing factor for WCF is Density @ 15C – 0.0011 = 0.9903 – 0.0011 = 0.9892). We don’t need to see the table anymore””

Could you please explain, how you find out the Trim correction & List correction for sounding, in case there are no Trim & List correction tables are available on board.

Sadanad,
Briefly, I can afford you with the calculation you meant. For the complete one, may be post later.
Example with Capacity Table :
Fuel Tank No. 1C.
Sounding : 1.50 M or 1,500 MM.
Vessel’s Trim : 1.00 M.
Vessel List : 1.0 degree to Starboard Side.
Trim Correction for Tank No. 1C in MM
——————————– TRIM ——————————–
SOUNDING …… -1.00 / 0.00 / 1.00 / 2.00 / …
…. 1.00 …………… -200 / 000 / 200 / 400 / …
…. 2.00 …………… -600 / 000 / 400 / 600 / …
…. 3.00 …………… -600 / 000 / 600 / 800 / …
List Correction for Tank No. 1C in MM
——————————— PORT / STARBOARD ————
LIST ….. / 3.0 / 2.0 / 1.0 / 0.0 / 1.0 / 2.0 / 3.0 / …
Corr …… 300 / 200 / 100 / 000 / -100 / -200 / -300 /
From the both tables we could get the corrected sounding as below :
Corrected Sounding (CS) = Sounding (S) + Trim Correction (TC) + List Correction (LC)
TC at S 1.50 M and Trim at 1.00 M is 300 MM (by Interpolation)
LC at List 1.0 degree to starboard (the right part beside 0.0 degree) is -100 MM.
CS = S + TC + LC.
CS = 1500 + 300 +(-100) = 1,800 – 100 = 1,700 MM or 1.70 M.
That’s all..
