Deck General USCG Question #536 (Set 16)

Which vessel is most likely to be loaded full but not down?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option B — A break bulk vessel loaded with palletized cargo

Break bulk vessels loaded with low-density palletized cargo fill their volumetric capacity (cubes out) long before reaching their maximum allowable weight draft limits. Heavy ores, steel, and dense grains quickly consume deadweight without utilizing total hold volume.
