, Management review
The m/v Elandsgracht is stationed in Belem, Brazil. The Elandsgracht is awaiting loading, so it can sail
to Antwerpen. The research team has drawn up load plan and corresponding matters like lashing.
The research team has calculated the journey will take around 10 days and 22 hours, but
circumstances might always cause delay or such matters. During this voyage the Elandsgracht will
pass tropical area and end in summer area. The daily consumption can be found in table 4 and extra
fuel and fresh water can be found in table 5.
