获取谷物和油料货物样本应当遵循正确的方法，但这并不像听起来那般容易。咨询公司 CWA International 的专业食品科学家 Ben Cockshull 强调，如果这些样本稍后会用于对船东的索赔进行抗辩，则正确进行采样是十分重要的。
船舶经营人和验船师通常得到的建议是在装载或卸载散装谷物或油籽货物时进行“采样”，例如在南美装载大豆货物时或在卸载时发现货损的情况下。但是，我们如何才能确保以最佳方式获得这些样本？

Sound Sampling of Grain Cargoes
Samples of grain and oilseed cargoes should be obtained correctly; but drawing these is not as easy as it sounds. Ben Cockshull, an expert Food Scientist at the consultancy CWA International, explains the importance of correct sampling techniques for bulk agricultural cargoes if these samples are to be used later in defending claims against the ship owner.
Ship operators and surveyors are often advised to “take samples” when loading or discharging bulk grain or oilseed cargoes, such as when loading soya bean cargoes in South America or when cargo damage is observed at discharge. But how can we try to make sure these samples are obtained in the best possible manner?
