Causes and solutions to reduce crude oil voyage losses
Abstract
The management of crude oil voyage losses in stages, including load, ship and discharge, is highly practical and in accordance with international practice, requiring close co-ordination among parties including field owners, suppliers, transportation operators, inspection agencies and refineries. This article assesses the current situation of crude oil voyage losses management in Vietnam and in the world, analyses the causes of crude oil losses as well as provides solutions to mitigate and prevent these losses.
