A lot of special cargo of similar cartons as shown in illustration D042DG below is to be loaded. What is the total cubic capacity the consignment will occupy if you assume 10% broken stowage?
Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation
Correct Answer: Option C — 65 cubic feet (2.0 cubic meters)
Taking the baseline volume of 58 cubic feet derived from cargo markings and applying a 10 percent increase for broken stowage (58 * 1.10) results in a total required space of 65 cubic feet.
