Definicja comparison ratio

The relationship between the quantity of material measured on shore and the quantity measured on the ship.

You calculate this ratio as follows:

(Total quantity measured on a ship) divided by (total quantity measured on shore). Multiply the result of this by 100.

Quantity measured on ship: 50,000 barrels

Quantity measured on shore: 52,000 barrels

Comparison ratio = (50,000) divided by (52,000), multiplied by 100 = 96.15

This means that for every 100 barrels that leave the shore, only 96.15 barrels are received on the ship.
