Sea Waybills on BIMCO (Genwaybill) form

By
BIMCO, the Baltic and International Maritime Council, has developed a standard set of forms and contracts for the shipping industry, including the widely used Gencon, Gencharter, and Genwaybill. The Genwaybill is a standard sea waybill form provided by BIMCO. The Genwaybill form is designed for the issuance of a sea waybill, which is a document used in international trade to evidence the receipt of goods for shipment by sea. Unlike a bill of lading, a sea waybill does not represent the title to the goods, and it functions as a non-negotiable document. The Genwaybill form is typically used for shipments where there is no requirement for a negotiable document of title. The Genwaybill form provided by BIMCO includes sections and clauses that cover essential information such as the shipper's and consignee's details, description of the goods, the voyage, freight charges, and any special instructions or terms and conditions related to the shipment. It is a standardized document that

🧭 Compass

By
Image
A navigation compass is a tool used for determining direction or bearing relative to the Earth's magnetic field. It consists of a magnetic needle mounted on a pivot or bearing, allowing it to rotate freely. The needle aligns itself with the Earth's magnetic field, pointing towards the Earth's magnetic north pole. Navigation compasses are typically used in various fields, including land navigation, hiking, orienteering, boating, and aviation. They provide a reliable method for determining directions and can be used to navigate through unfamiliar terrain or to maintain a specific course. There are different types of navigation compasses, such as the magnetic compass, gyrocompass, and electronic compass. The most common type is the magnetic compass, which uses a magnetized needle and a graduated compass rose to indicate the direction. The compass rose is marked with cardinal directions (north, south, east, and west) and often include additional markings for more pr

Vessel Speed Optimization

By
The optimum speed of a vessel can vary depending on several factors, including the type of vessel, its design characteristics, purpose, and prevailing conditions. However, there are a few general considerations when determining the optimum speed for a vessel: 1. Hull Efficiency: Vessels are designed to operate efficiently within a specific speed range. This range is typically determined by the hull design and the power system. Operating the vessel within this range ensures that the hull moves through the water with minimal resistance, resulting in better fuel efficiency and performance. 2. Power and Fuel Consumption: Vessels have an optimal speed where they achieve the best fuel consumption per unit of distance traveled. This speed is usually the point where the vessel's engines operate at their peak efficiency. Going slower or faster than this optimum speed can result in higher fuel consumption and reduced efficiency. 3. Seakeeping and Safety: The optimum speed can also be influen

Convert feet to metres

By
To convert feet to meters, multiply the number of feet by 0.3048, which is the conversion factor for feet to meters. So, the formula to convert feet to meters is: meters = feet x 0.3048 For example, if you want to convert 10 feet to meters, you would use the formula: meters = 10 x 0.3048 = 3.048 meters Therefore, 10 feet is equal to 3.048 meters.

What Is A Ship Trim? - Sample calculation

By
Ship trim refers to the difference in the draft (depth in the water) of a ship at the forward and aft ends of the vessel. It is the term used to describe the inclination or slope of a ship in the water, and it is an important factor to consider for safe and efficient ship operation. If a ship has a "down by the head" trim, it means that the draft at the bow is deeper than the draft at the stern. On the other hand, if the ship has a "down by the stern" trim, the draft at the stern is deeper than the draft at the bow. Trim can affect a ship's stability, speed, fuel efficiency, and maneuverability, and it needs to be adjusted by ballasting or deballasting the ship's tanks or cargo to achieve the desired trim. The proper trim of a ship is critical for safe navigation and optimal performance. Here's an example calculation of ship trim: Let's assume a ship has a draft of 8 meters at the bow and 7 meters at the stern. The ship's length between perpendic

Vessel trim - Even Keel

By
"Even keel" is a nautical term used to describe a ship that is floating in the water with a level trim, which means the draft (depth) of the ship is the same at both the bow and the stern. When a ship is on an even keel, it is balanced and stable in the water. Maintaining an even keel is important for the safe and efficient operation of a ship, as an unbalanced ship can be difficult to control and may be more susceptible to capsizing or damage in rough seas. When a ship is not on an even keel, it may need to be corrected by adjusting the distribution of weight on board, such as by ballasting or deballasting the tanks or adjusting the position of the cargo. Ship operators need to carefully consider and calculate the change in trim when making these adjustments to ensure that the ship remains stable and safe.

Vessel Trim Calculation

By
Vessel trim calculation involves determining the difference in draft (the depth of the vessel below the waterline) between the forward and aft ends of a vessel. It is usually expressed as a percentage of the vessel's length between perpendiculars (LBP) or as an angle of inclination of the vessel's longitudinal axis. To calculate vessel trim, the drafts at the forward and aft ends of the vessel are measured and the difference between them is calculated. The formula for vessel trim in percentage is: Trim (%) = (Draft Aft - Draft Forward) / LBP x 100 Where: Draft Aft is the depth of the vessel below the waterline at the aft end Draft Forward is the depth of the vessel below the waterline at the forward end LBP is the vessel's length between perpendiculars For example, if the draft at the aft end is 6 meters and the draft at the forward end is 5.5 meters, and the vessel's LBP is 100 meters, then the vessel's trim is: Trim (%) = (6 - 5.5) / 100 x 100 = 0.5% This means th
