🔍 Key Concepts

• Difference between weight-carrying capacity and volume/space measurement • Meaning of deadweight vs displacement • What gross tonnage and bale cubic actually measure

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: which term is specifically about how many TONS (weight) of cargo, fuel, stores, etc. a ship can safely carry? • Which terms in the options are actually about the size/volume of the ship or its cargo spaces instead of the weight it can carry? • Which term includes the ship’s own lightship weight plus the cargo, and which one is only the carrying capacity?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option refers to weight-carrying capacity in tons, not volume in cubic feet or a measure of internal size. • Eliminate any option that is really a volume measurement of cargo space, not a weight. • Distinguish between a term that means the total weight of the ship when loaded and the term that means how many tons it can carry.
