What is the meaning of the term tare weight?
• Definition of tare weight in cargo operations • Difference between container gross weight, net weight, and tare weight • How container labels show these three weights on the cargo data plate
• If you know the total weight and the weight of the contents, what part must be left over? How does that relate to tare? • On a container’s data plate, which value would stay the same whether it’s full or empty? • Which choice describes something that is required even before any cargo is loaded?
• Identify which option refers to the container without cargo • Eliminate any option that mixes container and contents together as one figure (gross weight). • Confirm that the term you pick would not change when cargo is added or removed (constant structural weight).
