🔍 Key Concepts

• Deadweight vs displacement and how cargo density affects draft • Difference between light, bulky cargo and dense, heavy cargo on how low a ship sits in the water • Meaning of the phrase "full but not down" in cargo loading

💭 Think About

• Which type of cargo would fill up the ship’s cargo spaces by volume before it reaches its maximum allowable draft? • Which listed cargoes are very dense, and which are relatively less dense for the same volume? • How would a ship carrying low‑density cargo look on the waterline compared to the same ship carrying high‑density cargo at its deadweight limit?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which options involve high-density cargo that would likely make the vessel "down" on her marks when full • Identify which option involves cargo that uses a lot of space but doesn’t weigh as much per cubic meter • Recall that "full but not down" means the ship’s cargo spaces are full, but she is not yet at her maximum draft marks
