- Q200 - Deck General
135. There is a large shipment of case goods available to be loaded on your vessel. You are to load as many tons as possible in a hold which has 32,300 cubic feet left unfilled by cargo. Each case measures 2-feet high by 2- feet wide by 4-feet long and weighs 500 pounds. If you allow a broken stowage allowance of 10% of the 32,300 feet, what is the nearest whole number of tons which may be loaded?
Calculate the usable volume by applying the broken stowage allowance, then determine the number of cases that can be loaded based on the case volume. Multiply the number of cases by the weight per case, convert to long tons, and round to the nearest whole ton, resulting in 406 tons.
