Bulk Phosphate Stowage Factor (SF) about 0.90 m 3 /ton (32 ft 3 /ton) In fact, Ship A has space for 55,000 mtons on her holds 70,000/0.90 = 77,000 mtons or 2,470,000/32 = 77,000 mtons (rounded) However, Ship A can only take 55,000 mtons in weight of Bulk Phosphate before Ship A loadline is submerged Stowage Factor (SF) Example 2: Ship B
The average design ship speed for bulk carriers of Handysize and above is 13.5–15 knots (25.0–27.8 km/h; 15.5–17.3 mph). [23] The propeller speed is relatively low, at about 90 revolutions per minute, although it depends on the size of the propeller.
A handymax ship is typically 150–200 m (492–656 ft) in length, though certain bulk terminal restrictions, such as those in Japan, mean that many handymax ships are just under 190 meters (623 ft) in overall length.
In the mid-1960s, to defeat the advantage of the recently introduced computers for the then popular rally racing in the Midwest, competition lag times in a few events were given in centids (1 ⁄ 100 day, 864 seconds, 14.4 minutes), millids (1 ⁄ 1,000 day, 86.4 seconds), and centims (1 ⁄ 100 minute, 0.6 seconds) the latter two looking and ...
In the middle ages, the normal way of discovering the tonnage of a ship was to load her with wine and see how many tuns could be fitted in. There is an instance of the owner of a new ship, in 1459, being challenged that his safe-conduct was for a 400 ton vessel, whilst he had already loaded more than 600 tons.
The ship's hydrostatic tables show the corresponding volume displaced. [4] To calculate the weight of the displaced water, it is necessary to know its density. Seawater (1,025 kg/m 3) is more dense than fresh water (1,000 kg/m 3); [5] so a ship will ride higher in salt water than in fresh. The density of water also varies with temperature.

Rigid IBC design types are manufactured across a volume range that is in between those of standard shipping drums and intermodal tank containers, hence the title "intermediate" bulk container. IBC totes are authorized per Title 49 CFR codes [ 5 ] to be fabricated of a volume up to 3 cubic metres (793 US gal) while maintaining the IBC name and ...
