Sea Pilot)
DLOSP
(Dropping Last Outward Sea Pilot): This
expression is used to describe the point at which a time chartered ship is
"delivered" to the Charterer or "redelivered" to the
shipowner. Normally, the place of actual delivery or redelivery and where an

after that calculating of the actual quantity of bunker at time vessel’s

quantity and period of ship / vessel voyage from her berthed at the present
port / harbor to DOLSP.
“Bunker” is all types of oils
are being stored on the hired ship’s oils tanks as Marine Fuel Oil (FO), Diesel
Oil (DO), Lubricate Oil (LU).
