Question 1 of 27070

Which space(s) is(are) NOT exempt when measuring gross tonnage?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Gross tonnage measurement rules in 46 CFR (which spaces are normally INCLUDED vs. EXCLUDED) • Difference between cargo spaces and accommodation/service spaces (like galleys) • How machinery and steering gear spaces are usually treated in tonnage calculations

💭 Think About

• First, ask yourself: which of these spaces directly earn money by carrying cargo or passengers, and are those usually included or exempt from gross tonnage? • Then consider: which spaces are more like support or service areas (for living, cooking, or machinery) and how are those sometimes excluded from tonnage under certain conditions? • Compare which of the listed spaces is most clearly intended for cargo, not for crew living or ship operation support.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which space is always counted in gross tonnage because it is a primary revenue-earning volume, not a support space. • Check whether auxiliary machinery and steering gear spaces can qualify for exemptions under tonnage rules. • Confirm how a galley in a deckhouse is classified: is it an accommodation/service space that may be exempt, or a cargo space?
