    This document defines key terms related to cargo capacity, density, and ship measurements. It explains that bale capacity refers to the space available for bagged or boxed cargo, while grain capacity includes gaps between frames and beams. Stowage factor describes the volume occupied by one tonne of cargo. Broken stowage accounts for lost space from irregular cargo shapes or holds. Other terms defined are load density, cargo density, ullage, soundings, displacement, and deadweight.

     Bale and Grain Capacity; Stowage factor, Broken

    stowage; Load density; Cargo density; Ullage and


    soundings; Deadweight and displacement:

     Bale capacity: the total amount of cargo space available


    for the carriage of bags, bales, pallets or boxed cargoes
    and does not include the space between the frames and
    beams. It is always slightly less than the grain capacity.
     Bale space capacity– is that cubic capacity of a cargo
    space when the breadth is measured from the inside of
    the cargo battens (spar ceiling) and the measured depth
    is from the wood tank top ceiling to the underside of the
    deck beams. The length is measured from the inside of
    the fore and aft bulkhead stiffeners.
     Grain capacity: the total amount of cargo space
    available for the carriage of bulk cargo. It includes the
    gaps between the frames and beams in the hold.
     Stowage factor: the space occupied by one metric ton of
    that cargo. For example, the S.F of clinker is 1.5 − this
    means that 1 tonne of clinker will occupy 1.5 cubic
    metres. It is also expressed in cubic feet per tonne at
    times. It is the figure which expresses the number of
    cubic metres per tonne (or cubic feet per ton of 2,240
    lb).
     Stowage factor – this is defined as that volume occupied
    by unit weight of cargo. Usually expressed as cubic
    metres per tonne (m3/tonnes) or cubic feet per tonne
    (ft3/tonne). It does not take account of any space which
    may be lost due to ‘broken stowage’.
     Broken stowage: the space that is lost in a ship by cargo
    of irregular shape or because of the hold being irregular.
    It includes the space lost between cargo packages. It is
    expressed as a percentage. If a cargo has a B.S of 5% this
    means that an additional 5% of the cargo volume must
    be allowed for when allocating space for that particular
    cargo.
     Load Density: Maximum Weight which can be loaded
    safely in an Area of 1 Sq. M. without causing any
    Damages to that area is called the Load Density of the
    area. It is given in Ship's Stability Booklet and is
    expressed in m.t./Sq. M. 
     Cargo density: Cubage of a cargo divided by its weight.
     Ullage: is the void space in the tank measured from the
    top of the tank to the upper surface of the fluid. 
     Sounding: In nautical terms, the word sound is used to
    describe the process of determining the depth of water
    in a tank or under a ship. Tanks are sounded to
    determine the level of the liquid within the tank.
     Displacement: of a ship is the weight of the ship or the
    weight of the water displaced by the ship.
     Deadweight: Deadweight tonnage is the weight of all
    the cargo, fuel, dry provisions, supplies, etc. carried on
    board the ship. In other words, it is the “displacement
    tonnage” of the vessel minus the “lightweight tonnage”.
