Lighterage clause. It is essential to insert the so-called "lighterage clause" in charter-parties which show as port of discharge : any safe port in a certain range, e. g. Havre-Hamburg range. Such a clause may read as follows :"Should steamer be ordered to discharge at a place where there is not sufficient water to enter the first tide after arrival, without lightening, and be always afloat, laydays to count from twenty-four hours after arrival at a safe anchorage for similar vessels bound for such place, and any lighterage incurred to enable her to reach the place of discharge is to be at the expense and risk of the receivers of cargo... 1, record 4, English, - lighterage%20clause
Record number: 4, Textual support number: 1 OBS
In this clause, "lighterage" is given the restrictive meaning of "lightening" (to put cargo in lighters in order to lighten the ship, to reduce its draft), instead of its original meaning (loading and/or unloading of cargo by means of lighters but for shipping purposes). Although to change thus the original meaning of lighterage is, strictly speaking, a misuse, the wording of the clause thus called sufficiently specifies its meaning to avoid any misunderstanding. Writers of charter parties and transport documents have universally adopted "lighterage" as a synonym of "lightening" for the corresponding clauses: consequently, in the particular context of clauses incorporated to the above mentioned documents, its usage is to be considered correct. 2, record 4, English, - lighterage%20clause

Neath Port Talbot County Borough Council carries out a range of pollution monitoring work in order to establish the current state of the environment. Some studies involve the use of high-tech pollution analysers that automatically generate readings on an hourly basis. Other methods rely upon semi-automatic or manual sample collection on a daily, weekly, fortnightly or monthly basis. Some monitoring is carried out as part of national monitoring networks, whilst other in-house pollution monitoring is also carried out. 1, record 6, English, - pollution%20monitoring
