Bills of Lading. The bill of lading acts as a receipt for the goods taken on board
board the vessel and provides information as to the
nature, quantity and description of those goods. It is evidence of a contract of carriage between the shipper and the carrier
wherein the carrier has agreed to transport the goods by sea from from one place to another. It gives title to the goods and means
that it can be given to the carrier in exchange for possession of of the goods. Bills of Lading are normally issued in duplicate or
triplicate. However, it has become customary for all originals to t be handed to the shipper in order to reduce the risk of one of
o
the originals falling into the wrong hands, as previously advised
advised an original B/L gives title to the goods. Once an original B/L
has been surrendered and the goods have been obtained, any remainingremaining B/Ls become void and useless.

requirements and is fit for purpose.
Draft Surveying/Barge Gauging. One of the most well established methods of calculating the weight
weight of cargo. We has many
years experience and a wide range of technical resources to draw upon to ensure that clients receive a precise, high quality
service. Similarly, our Barge Gauging Services determine the quantity
quantity of cargo loaded or discharged.
Hold Cleanliness Inspection. This inspection is performed to determine whether the holds are clean, dry and free of previously
shipped cargo. Each hold should be individually inspected, accepted
accepted or rejected by the attending surveyor. The holds should be
free of odour, without paint peeling or heavy rust that could flake
flake into the cargo designated for loading. All accessible areas of
the hold and hatch covers should be thoroughly examined, as previously
previously shipped commodity could remain in hard reach areas.
Hold Condition Survey. Thorough inspection of the cargo compartment and the hatch covers
covers to determine its suitability for the
carriage of the proposed cargo and that the specified requirements
requirements of the customer for cleanliness are met. Inspection of the
compartment for any damage in order to prevent harm to the cargo and to prevent claims against the customer for damage
that is not attributable to him.
Marine Cargo Surveying. Goods and financial interests in maritime transport are subject
subject to damages and losses for many
reasons. Our experts can protect your interests as they secure your
your rights to compensation for damages to goods, or if your
financial interests are threatened.

Biomass Wood Chips prices have been stable historically and are not directly linked to national or global energy
markets. Biomass fuels can be expected to increase in price more slowly than competing fuels. Over the last 15-

years biomass prices have stayed level.
Biomass Wood Chips systems are often capable of giving higher levels

biomass fuels are very inexpensive, many building owners feel they

Future energy taxes, such as a carbon tax or a Btu tax, are less

electricity for EU corresponding to 22.1 % for EU15 will not be
achieved under current policies and measures. Instead, currently implemented policies will probably result in a share of between
18 % and 19 % in 2010. It has been identified that the main reason reason why the target is not being achieved is because the
production of electricity from biomass has not been as high as initially
initially foreseen.
The United Kingdom is seeking to reduce its carbon footprint to meet its obligations under both the European Union (EU) and the
Kyoto Protocol. The EU has set a goal of reducing energy consumption
consumption in its member states by 20 percent. It also intends to
have biofuels make up 10 percent of all transportation fuels by 2020. Under the Kyoto Protocol, the country has agreed to
reduce its 1990 carbon emissions by 12.5 percent by 2012, and it is on track to meet that goal. Imports will continue to be an
important part of the strategy, especially for transport fuels and
