The lower hold of your vessel has a bale capacity of 60,000 cubic feet. How many tons of cotton in bales having a stowage factor of 85 can be stowed in the lower hold assuming a broken stowage of 20%?
Given:
60,000 ft3 - Lower hold bale capacity
85 ft3/ton- Stowage factor
20% - Broken stowage
What is asked:
Weight in tons of cotton.
Solution:
This the formula: Weight = (Hold volume x Efficiency) ÷ Stowage factor
Step 1. We have to solve first for the efficiency.
Efficiency = (100 - Broken Stowage) ÷ 100
= (100 - 20) ÷ 100
= 80 ÷ 100
= 0.80
Step 2. Multiply the efficiency and the hold volume, and then divide it by the stowage factor.
Weight = (60,000 ft3 x 0.80) ÷ 85 ft3/tons
= 48,000ft3 ÷ 85 ft3/tons
= 565 tons is the answer.
