Abstract: The storage and maritime bulk transport of edible fats and oils as a subject is a very complex matter and there is a real need to capture the evolved practices and international industry requirements now demanded by all international players in a continuous growing global market. The world-wide edible fats and oils trade has established its own set of quality standards for storage and carriage that are laid down in certain forms issued by the Federation of Oils, Seeds and Fats Associations Ltd. (FOSFA) in London and National Institute of Oilseed Products (NIOP) in Washington. However, there are few key elements that need always to be observed when dealing with edible fats and oils and it is the purpose of this paper to highlight those elements.
