▲ Mud / sand / ballast noted
Confirm recycler drains hull before certified weigh. Verify tare weights on every scale ticket.
▲ Tank barge — HMS #1 pricing
Tank barge steel is HMS #1. Weight estimated using type-specific yield factor: single-skin 42.5–57.2% of displacement (mid 50%), double-hull ~27.2% — do not apply hopper factor. HMS #2 on clean shell plating is grade fraud per ISRI specifications.
■ Missing bottom — deduction applied
ⓘ Fleet age context
Methodology note: TrueYield uses a proprietary, empirically derived net scrap yield factor applied to USACE-recorded displacement tonnage. This is not a structural steel fraction — TrueYield's factor is calibrated to a certified draft table and validated across a large fleet dataset. USACE displacement figures may reflect original commissioning records, a drydock survey, or owner-reported data and do not carry a measurement date. Age factors compensate for steel loss over time. For legally defensible disputes, a current certified draft survey by a licensed marine surveyor ($500–800) is recommended prior to recycler delivery.

■ FLAG 3 — Price Anomaly / Index Not Disclosed$20,553 exposure
XL329 settled at $295.00/GT P&S Unprepared. Gulf South P&S estimated market: ~$383/GT (Jan 2026). Differential: $88/GT × 233.55 GT = $20,553. Additionally, a flat $2,400 “Fiberglass Barge” dollar deduction was applied with no tonnage basis. Action required: Request index name, index date, and published price source used to derive $295/GT. FRP cover deduction is legitimate but should be expressed as tonnage (19.5 GT) at market price, not a flat dollar amount that circumvents per-GT pricing transparency.
▲ FLAG 5 — Tare Weight Anomaly13 loads — escalate to Critical
Uniform tare: 40,190 lbs (17.94 GT) all 13 loads. Transfer truck norm+2.5 threshold = 17.0 GT; semi norm+2.5 = 17.7 GT. Tares exceed transfer threshold on every load. With 13 flagged tickets, Flag 5 rules escalate to Critical. Tare-in/tare-out documented as 40,220/40,160 (avg 40,190) — tare measurement was taken. Request truck class (semi vs transfer) for vehicle documentation.
✓ FLAG 7 — ArithmeticPASS — $0.00 error
233.5491 GT × $295.00 = $68,896.99 − $2,400 = $66,496.99. Field B weight sheet total (523,150 lbs / 233.55 GT) matches scale ticket exactly.

Scale Ticket #101373 does not specify a commodity grade. Price $335.00/GT is below P&S est. ($383/GT) and below HMS #1 ($370/GT). No ISRI grade designation appears on this ticket. Expected P&S: 240.06 GT × $383 = $91,943. Received: $80,419. Exposure: $11,523. Action required: Request grade certification and price index source for $335/GT.

Tare 38,650 lbs (17.25 GT) across all 13 loads exceeds transfer truck norm+2.5 (17.0 GT) by 0.25 GT/load. Tare-in/tare-out documented (38,680/38,620 avg 38,650). Dollar impact if tare overstated 1 GT/load: 13 × $335 = $4,355. Retain Watch — request truck class documentation.

■ FLAG 2 — Grade Misclassification (HMS on Hopper Plate)$5,098 exposure
84.96 GT classified HMS Unprepared at $235/GT. Per ISRI 231/232 (January 2026 Scrap Specifications Circular), 5/16" hopper barge shell plate qualifies as P&S. Cut-up remnants from XL752 dismantling should carry P&S pricing. HMS Unprepared ($235) vs P&S Unprepared ($295) on this same ticket = $60/GT spread. Exposure: 84.96 GT × $60 = $5,098. Action required: Request recycler’s written basis for HMS classification. Cite ISRI 231/232 minimum thickness 1/4” — hopper plate is 5/16”.
▲ FLAG 5 — Anomalous Tare on HMS Load #444,240 lbs (19.75 GT)
HMS load #4 tare 44,240 lbs (19.75 GT) vs group avg 38,640 lbs. Difference: 5,600 lbs (2.5 GT). This load is also the one flagged for HMS misclassification. 19.75 GT exceeds semi+2.5 threshold (17.7 GT) — CRITICAL by tare rules. Recommend requesting vehicle ID for this specific load. Two independent anomalies on the same load is a significant pattern.
▲ Non-Standard Grade — “Barge Plate” at $435/GTPositive flag — verify basis
“Barge Plate” is not an ISRI standard grade name. This 19.94 GT was priced at $435/GT — $140/GT above P&S on the same ticket. May represent specialty plate or premium-gauge material. Action: Request written definition of “Barge Plate,” ISRI equivalent, and price index. This benefited the seller — but the premium should be documented and reproducible.
ⓘ P&S Price Pattern — $295/GT on Both BargesConfirms systematic underpricing
P&S Unprepared at $295/GT on this ticket (3/13/2026) matches XL329 ticket (1/23/2026). Same buyer, same recycler, same low price — 40+ days apart. Systematic $88/GT underpricing consistent across all fleet P&S transactions at this recycler. Strengthens Flag 3 case for both hulls.
✓ FLAG 7 — ArithmeticPASS — $0.00 error
All 7 line items verified. Calculated $37,689.99 = invoice $37,689.99.

▲ FLAG 6 AssessmentRetain Watch
Gaps of 140 and 41 tickets across 40-day and 10-day spans reflect other customer transactions at a commercial recycling yard — this is normal. Flag 6 escalates to Critical only if gaps appear within a single hull’s dismantling sequence on the same day. No such pattern observed. Retain Watch. If the fleet owner holds a contract entitling them to review all ticket runs, request the full log for the period to verify no fleet loads appear under other ticket numbers.

Steel roll-top covers (27.00 GT at $398 = $10,746) and coaming steel (6.40 GT at $398 = $2,547) separately itemized and credited at full P&S rate. This is the correct treatment — many recyclers fold these in or omit them entirely. This recycler credited every recoverable ton.
★ Why TrueYield Still Matters on a Clean Settlement+$4,354 above estimate
This settlement passed every TrueYield flag and the recycler paid $4,354 above the TrueYield estimate. Without an independent baseline you'd have no way to know whether $79,204 was fair, low, or exceptional.
TrueYield doesn't just catch fraud — it confirms when you're being treated right. That knowledge is leverage in every future negotiation.
When recyclers know you have an independent number, the whole dynamic changes. The honest ones keep paying fair. The others can't hide.
