A heavy cargo.<br \/>\n&#8211;\u00a0A stowage factor of 60 indicates that 1 Mt of cargo will take up 1.7 cbm in hold. A light cargo.<br \/>\nThis is especially important when transporting light cargoes as 2000 Mts of a light cargo\u00a0may require\u00a0tonnage capable of carrying more than 2000 Mts in order to fit all of the cargo in the hold. Cbm\/cbft then becomes very important.<\/p>\n<p>Angle of Repose = This describes at what angle a commodity may start to slide, this is important to know as a\u00a0slide in cargo hold may affect the ships stability and seaworthyness. To avoid that cargopiles start sliding,\u00a0a ship carrying bulk cargoes will be trimmed after loading (cargo flattened\/spread more evenly out in hold).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On this part of the page we wish to introduce you to some of the different terms and\u00a0rarities that you may meet\u00a0within the shipping industry.
