@Tony Thanks for pointing that out. I was reading a glossary entry and decided to take a quick look at the latest KudoZ questions. I saw '2 X' and I understood it meant 'two multiplied by'.
Tony M Feb 20, 2021:
@ Helena I'm afraid it means the opposite!
Helena Chavarria Feb 20, 2021:
I understand it to mean 'two for each voyage'.
Amir Akbarpour Reihani Feb 20, 2021:
I think "2 X" implies a large size or volume.

Thanks, Amir!
agree philgoddard : It's not good writing, because you have to stop and work out what it means.

Thanks, Phil! Personally, it didn't cause me any problems — but perhaps that's just because I'm used to this kind of document.
