Experience with all three of these methods showed that accuracy can be achieved even if relatively poor resolution is accepted, if some precautions are taken when recording the weights. This paper presents three study cases and the calculation of uncertainty in the deadweight that derived from the ...
Lightweight is the weight of the hull and machinery, so the deadweight includes the cargo, fuel, water, crew and effects. The term cargo deadweight is used for the cargo alone. A table of deadweight against draught, for fresh and salt water, is provided to a ship’s master in the form...
All volumes included in the calculation are measured to the inner side of the shell or structural boundary plating, whether or not insulation is fitted, in ships constructed of metal. Volumes of appendages are included but spaces open to the sea are excluded. Because of the modifying K factors...
