How to Use This Calculator
- Enter the cargo hold dimensions: length, width, and depth in feet.
- Input the stowage factor in ft³/MT for your cargo type (grain ~47, steel ~14, cotton ~80).
- Set the broken stowage percentage (typically 10-15%) to account for unavoidable space loss.
- Review cargo capacity in metric tons and usable volume in ft³ and m³.
- Check volume utilization percentage to optimize hold loading for maximum efficiency.
