🔍 Key Concepts

• Difference between weight capacity and volume/cubic capacity • What information is shown on a ship's plans and diagrams (capacity plans, general arrangement plans) • How deadweight is defined and what it applies to

💭 Think About

• Which document or plan would specifically list how much load (in tons per square meter or pounds per square foot) a particular deck can safely carry? • Which options deal mainly with the ship’s overall loading or layout, instead of the strength/limit of one deck? • Look at the words "weight" and "capacity of a deck"—which choice directly refers to deck loading limits rather than space or volume?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choice relates to structural deck loading limits, not just layout or volume • Eliminate any option that mainly shows internal arrangement (locations of spaces) instead of capacities • Eliminate any option that mainly gives cubic/volume information instead of weight-per-area limits
