Before an export set leaves the office, match names, weights, originals, and dates. One mismatch can hold the cargo.
Cargo waits on mismatched names, missing originals, and dates that disagree. The grain can be fine and still not move.
Containers suit smaller or identity-preserved lots. Bulk ships suit large, uniform cargoes. The freight math is not the same.
A weight certificate records how a grain cargo was measured. Shore scales and draft surveys answer different questions.
Demurrage charges a ship that waits too long. Dispatch, if the contract allows it, pays for finishing early.
