French term or phrase: cession en bac
TRANSFERT DE PROPRIETE ET DES RISQUES
La propriété et le risque relatifs au produit livré aux termes du présent contrat seront transférés du Vendeur à l’Acheteur selon les modalités suivantes:
LIVRAISON VRAC
Fourniture par pipe : dès que le produit passe la bride de liaison située à la sortie des installations du Vendeur.
Chargement camion ou wagon : dès que le bras de chargement est déconnecté.
Cession en bac : dès que la transaction est confirmée par fax par le gestionnaire du stockage, qui précisera la date du transfert.


This is about selling LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas). I can't quite picture what handing it over 'en bac' might look like.
Any ideas?

sold from/in the tank
Explanation:
Given Web references to "hydrocarbures" being stored in "bacs de stockage" of capacities like 50,000 m3, I assume this refers to tanks such as found in tank farms at refineries, terminals, etc.

I guess if the tank goes up before the fax is sent, it's the producer's loss, whereas if it goes up subsequently, it's the buyer's.
