Samples for Quality Analysis Sample Clauses

Samples for Quality Analysis. Representative samples of the loaded and the unloaded LNG shall be obtained or caused to be obtained by Terminal Operator during the time of loading and respectively unloading as provided in AC 3.4. Upon request of Transshipper, Terminal Operator shall obtain or shall cause to obtain representative samples of the LNG in Transshipment Storage, it being understood that such costs, the sample’s quality analysis and the costs of such quality analysis shall be borne by Transshipper.

Samples for Quality Analysis. Representative samples of the LNG delivered shall be obtained, or be caused to be obtained, in triplicate by Buyer during the time of unloading and delivery to Buyer. The three (3) samples shall be taken from an appropriate point on Buyer's receiving line as close as possible to the unloading flanges and collected in the gaseous state using the continuous gasification/collection 49 method agreed by the Parties. In addition Buyer shall obtain spot samples during unloading. The method and devices for sampling and the quantity of the samples to be withdrawn, shall be determined by agreement between the Parties to provide for taking representative and adequate samples of the LNG delivered. The samples obtained shall be distributed as follows: First sample - for use for analysis by Buyer receiving the LNG shipment. Second sample - for use of Seller. Third sample - for retention by Buyer for an agreed period, not to exceed twenty (20) days, during which any dispute as to the accuracy of any analysis shall be raised, in which case the sample shall be further retained until the Parties agree to retain it no longer. If it is not possible for any reason to obtain composite samples by the continuous gasification/collection method, the composition of the LNG delivered shall be the arithmetic average of the results obtained by analyses of the spot samples. If it is not possible to obtain such spot samples, an analysis of the LNG loaded at the Loading Port, after adjustment for boil-off measured in respect of the laden voyage, shall be used to determine the composition of the cargo delivered. For this purpose, Seller shall utilize devices comparable to those utilized at Buyer's Facilities and shall employ methods of taking and analyzing the samples at the Loading Port comparable in accuracy to those employed at Buyer's Facilities.
