Q

Which space cannot be deducted from gross tonnage when calculating net tonnage?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Gross tonnage vs net tonnage – what net tonnage is meant to represent • Spaces that are deductible under tonnage rules (crew accommodation, navigation, safety) per 46 CFR Part 69 • The purpose and normal use of each listed space on a working vessel

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: Which of these spaces is clearly a crew accommodation or service space rather than a cargo‑earning space? • Consider which space is used for ship’s operations or habitability versus simply holding weight or gear. • Think about what net tonnage tries to exclude: Does it exclude spaces needed for navigation/crew, or spaces used to carry ballast or other non‑crew liquids?

✅ Before You Answer

• Look at 46 CFR Part 69 and verify which spaces are listed as allowable deductions for net tonnage (e.g., master/crew spaces, navigation spaces, certain machinery spaces). • For each option, decide: Is this space primarily for crew accommodation/service or for ballast/gear storage? • Confirm whether tanks used for ballast or liquids are ever listed as deductible spaces in the tonnage regulations.
