941. The lower hold of your vessel has a bale cubic of 52,000 cu. ft. You will load a cargo of cases, each weighing 380 lbs. and measuring 3 ft. x 2 ft. x 2 ft. The estimated broken stowage is 15%. How many tons of cases can be loaded?

Calculate the net usable volume by applying the broken stowage percentage to the total volume, then determine the number of cases that fit by dividing the net volume by the volume per case. Finally, convert the total weight of the cases to long tons (2,240 lb) to arrive at the loadable cargo in tons.
