Abstract

The invention concerns a device for controlling a ship's cargo, enabling in particular to verify cargoes and their movements in oil shipping. Therefor, data concerning the cargo are recorded in tamperproof black box type media. One or several sensors are used for iteratively measuring and recording the level and the type of cargo. The recorded data are then transmitted to the competent authorities. Said data can also include dated cargo data, identification of the ship and of the tanks, and the geographical position obtained by an onboard GPS system. The sensors can be tank radars for example. Said sensors can carry out measurements with millimetric accuracy. Furthermore, they enable to distinguish the type of liquid based on the amplitude of the reflected signal. In particular, water can be distinguished from the oil products, thereby enabling to detect more easily tank washing operations than with mere level recording. In addition, said radar sensors enable to measure in the tank sumps, the thickness of the oil product (hydrocarbons) at the surface of the settled liquid. The invention is useful for preventing open sea degassing.
