Slide 7

Introduction General cargoes are usually shipped in manageable quantities that can be checked, although the larger the overall quantity and the smaller the individual cargo units, the greater the problems associated with verification. Such cargoes are susceptible to theoretical loss in a similar way to bulk cargoes if there are undetected errors and depending upon the nature and packaging of the cargo, and security at the discharge port, pilferage can be a source of actual loss. In order to protect the Carriers interest, accurate loading and discharging tallies are necessary. be subject to

Slide 8

Tallying work can be carried out either by the ships personnel or by professional tallying companies. At ports where tallying is known to be of poor quality, and if large quantities of cargo are involved, it is recommended that the crew perform an additional tally of the cargo as it is discharged from the vessel. Often the only tally that is recognized as evidence of the quantity discharged, is that performed by the official tallying organization at the port of discharge.

Slide 9

If that situation exists, it is vitally important that those who may be carrying out an independent tally on behalf of the carrier should, if possible, work closely with the official tally clerks. In particular, as and when discrepancies appear between the official and unofficial tallies, these should be addressed and resolved immediately before inaccurate figures find their way into the official record. highlighted or emphasized

Passage One Different Method of Tallying Cargo Cargo tallying and measuring work is usually done during cargo loading operations. However, incorrect manner of count may lead to discrepancy between figures reflecting quantity of pieces loaded into each particular hold specified in Daily Reports and Final Cargo Plan.

Slide 16

Any method of tallying cargo may be used that quickly provides an accurate and legible cargo count. The cargo count is recorded on a tally sheet. A tally sheet may be a computer printout, or a locally produced form. The best method for tallying one type of cargo, such as boxes of machines, may not be the most accurate method for another type of cargo, such as serially numbered vehicles or individually numbered packages. To satisfy various requirements, four tallying methods are in general use: package, unit, block, and straight.

Slide 17

a. Package Method. The different packaging methods are listed below. (1) When it is indicated that more than one piece of cargo was shipped under the same TCN and each piece of cargo has its own label, this tallying method is used. When using this method, the cargo checker lists each piece number on his tally sheet. As each numbered piece is loaded, he crosses out the corresponding number on his tally sheet. For example, pieces 1 and 3 of a five- piece shipment have been loaded. They are marked off as follows:

Slide 18

(2) The piece number and total number of pieces are shown at the bottom of the address label. If a piece is damaged or missing, the checker draws a circle around the appropriate piece number and identifies it as short or damaged. For example, if pieces 1 and 3 of a five-piece shipment are loaded intact, piece number 2 is damaged, and piece 4 is missing, the tallying sheet would look like this:

Slide 19

(3) As a result of marking or a shipping error, two pieces may bear the same number, making one of the pieces excess. In this case, the number of the extra piece will also be recorded on the tally, circled and annotated "over." For example, if the shipment had two pieces labeled with the number 3, the second number would be tallied as follows: b. Unit Method. Equipment such as trucks, tanks and other large serial-numbered items that are handled separately are usually tallied by the unit methods

Slide 20

(1) The cargo checker compares the serial number stenciled on the vehicle with the serial number recorded in the entry list. If they correspond, a check mark is placed on the tally sheet to indicate the vehicle has been received. (2) Under certain circumstances, the description of the item may not be included as an entry. In this case, the checker enters such identifying information on the tally.

Slide 21

c. Block Method. The block method provides a rapid means of tallying when items of the same commodity are being loaded or unloaded in uniform drafts consisting of an equal number of pieces. This method requires the cargo checker to determine the number of pieces in each draft, which he records in parentheses in the left margin of the tally sheet. As each draft is transferred, the checker enters a tally mark adjacent to the number.

Slide 22

d. Straight Method. When general cargo with different amounts in each draft is involved, the checker cannot use the other three methods, but must use the straight tally method. The straight method requires the checker to make an individual count of each piece in each draft. He enters this count on the tally sheet as each draft is transferred.
