23、liquefied natural gas (LNG) carriers for those involved in the LNG trade on ships and onshore. It includes recommended methods for measuring, reporting and documenting quantities on board these vessels.This International Standard is intended to establish uniform practices for the measurement of the

24、quantity of cargo on board LNG carriers from which the energy is computed. It details the commonly used current methods of cargo measurement, but is not intended to preclude the use or development of any other technologies or methods or the revision of the methods presented. It is intended that the

26、 by organizations, such as the International Maritime Organization (IMO), the International Chamber of Shipping (ICS), the Oil Companies lnternational Marine Forum (OCIMF), the International Group of LNG Importers (GIIGNL) and the Society of International Gas Tanker and Terminal Operators (SIGTTO),

27、or individual operating companies. This International Standard is not intended to supersede any other safety or environmental considerations, local regulations or the specific provisions of any contract.The International System of units (SI) is used throughout this International Standard as the prim

28、ary units of measure since this system is commonly used in the industry for these types of cargoes. However, as some LNG carrier tanks are calibrated in US customary units and some sales and purchase agreements (SPA) are made in US customary units, both SI and US customary equivalents are shown.

30、ishes all of the steps needed to properly measure and account for the quantities of cargoes on liquefied natural gas (LNG) carriers. This includes, but is not limited to, the measurement of liquid volume, vapour volume, temperature and pressure, and accounting for the total quantity of the cargo on

31、board. This International Standard describes the use of common measurement systems used on board LNG carriers, the aim of which is to improve the general knowledge and processes in the measurement of LNG for all parties concerned. This International Standard provides general requirements for those i
