一艘灵便型散货船从亚洲驶往欧洲。由于所在港口燃油价格非常便宜，租家决定在离港前将重油舱加满，所加的重油是IFO 380cst-RMG 35。燃油是由经常合作的供油商提供，通过驳船加油，燃油质量似乎是符合租约要求的。船舶有四个可用的油舱，其中一个油舱有一半存油。为了充分利用油舱的容量，新加燃油被混入有一半存油的油舱中。

Case study : Fuel treatment
A handy size bulk carrier was underway from Asia to Europe. Due to prevailing fuel prices, charterers decided to bunker the vessel to almost full capacity with IFO 380cst-RMG 35 before leaving port. The fuel was delivered by a barge provided by a frequently used supplier, and the quality of the fuel should be in accordance with the applicable charterparty. The vessel had four fuel storage tanks available, including a storage tank which was half full. To use as much as possible of the available fuel capacity the new fuel was mixed with the existing fuel in the storage tank which was only half full.
