Resumen
Descripción
Edible fats and oils have been traded and shipped for thousands of years, as they form an important part of the human diet. Increasing global food trade has meant that the geographical source of these commodities has been broadening steadily. The availability of sea-going vessels reserved for the transport of foodstuffs is insufficient to serve the continuing trade in oils and fats intended for or likely to be used for human consumption. It is also impractical to expect sea-going bulk tankers to return empty to the original loading posts upon delivery of their cargo of fats and oils.
