Edible oils and fats

Edible oils of a plant or animal origin are shipped in liquid form on tankers. Deterioration of these oils in storage and during carriage can have a number of causes, and delay can be a significant factor. Contamination with water or other cargoes can occur during carriage or loading/discharge and can result in cargo claims for entire parcels. Many of these oils are carried at elevated temperature, leading to potential problems from heat damage.
