TOV stands for which of the following?

When you see TOV in tanker terminology, the idea is a measured quantity that has been added up across the relevant scope. “Observed Volume” refers to the volume read from gauging or instrumentation, and “Total” signals that you’re summing those observed readings into one complete figure. That makes Total Observed Volume the natural and standard way to express the combined observed amount. Other options don’t fit typical tanker language: Remaining On Board is usually abbreviated ROB, not TOV; On Board Quantity isn’t a common standard term; Gross Observed Volume would imply a pre-deduction or pre-processed figure, which isn’t how TOV is used here.
