![]() ![]() Let us say that volume of the tank is 3000 m3. On tankers, load density is given as to the maximum density of the cargo that can be loaded.įor example, if load density of a tanker ship is given as 1.2 t/m3, it means that we can load the tank to full if the load density is lesser than or equal to 1.2 t/m3. So load density helps the ship staff to know to what height a cargo can be loaded. We know the length and breadth of the tank, so we can calculate the maximum height to which this cargo can be loaded. So the volume of the cargo that can be loaded in tank will be 7200 x 0.9 m3. Now if the stowage factor of the cargo to be loaded is 0.9 m3/Tonne. So Maximum cargo = 30 x 20 x 12 = 7200 Tonnes. ![]() Total cargo that can be loaded in this tank = Length x Breath x Load density So how much total cargo we can load in this tank. The length of the cargo hold is 30 meters and breadth of the cargo hold is 20 meters. Say load density of tank top of a bul carrier is 12 tonnes/sq meter. That is how many tonnes can be loaded in one square meter of tank top area. ![]() The load density of a tank is provided by the class during yard delivery of the ship.įor dry cargo ships the load density of the tank top is given in t/Sq Meter. This depends upon how strong the tank top is. Load density of a cargo tank defines how much cargo we can load in a tank.
