🔍 Key Concepts

• stowage factor meaning (cubic feet or cubic meters per ton) • difference between weight cargo vs measurement cargo • how a large stowage factor affects how much space a cargo uses compared to its weight

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: if a cargo has a stowage factor over 40, does that mean it is very dense and heavy for its size, or light and bulky for its size? • Think about which type of cargo will ‘fill the ship before it weighs it down’ versus ‘weigh the ship down before filling the space’. • Match the idea of a high stowage factor with whether space or weight is the limiting factor in loading.

✅ Before You Answer

• Be clear that stowage factor is volume per unit weight, not weight per unit volume. • Identify which cargo type is limited by available space rather than deadweight (carrying weight). • Eliminate any choice that does not relate directly to how much space per ton the cargo requires.
