2. Ship measurements - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ship_measurements

   Grain Cube (or Grain Capacity) – The maximum space available for cargo measured in cubic metres or feet, the measurement being taken to the inside of the shell plating of the ship or to the outside of the frames and to the top of the beam or underside of the deck plating. It is a measurement of capacity for cargoes such as grain, where the ...

3. Beam (nautical) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beam_(nautical)

   Graphical representation of the dimensions used to describe a ship. Dimension "b" is the beam at waterline.. The beam of a ship is its width at its widest point. The maximum beam (B MAX) is the distance between planes passing through the outer sides of the ship, beam of the hull (B H) only includes permanently fixed parts of the hull, and beam at waterline (B WL) is the maximum width where the ...

4. Builder's Old Measurement - Wikipedia

   Beam is the beam, in feet. Depth is the depth of the hold, in feet below the main deck. The numerator yields the ship's volume expressed in cubic feet. If a "tun" is deemed to be equivalent to 100 cubic feet, then the tonnage is simply the number of such 100 cubic feet 'tun' units of volume.

7. Freeboard (nautical) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freeboard_(nautical)

   In sailing and boating, a vessel's freeboard is the distance from the waterline to the upper deck level, measured at the lowest point of sheer where water can enter the boat or ship. [1] In commercial vessels, the latter criterion measured relative to the ship's load line, regardless of deck arrangements, is the mandated and regulated meaning. [2]
