This video shows how to calculate the amount of cargo that can be loaded in each ship's cargo hold. It involves manual calculations.

Stowage factor is a measurement used to indicate how much space a particular type of cargo occupies in a ship's hold. It is usually expressed in terms of cubic feet per metric ton, or cubic meters per metric ton. The stowage factor varies depending on the cargo's density, moisture content, and how tightly it can be packed.

Grain Capacity refers to the total volume of a ship's hold, measured without considering obstructions like frames, or beams. It represents the maximum space available when loading bulk cargo, such as grains or other free-flowing bulk materials, which can fill in around the structural features of the hold.

Grain capacity is generally larger because the cargo fills the entire volume. Bale Capacity measures the usable volume of the hold, taking into account structural obstructions like beams, frames, and other fittings. It is typically used for packaged, or unitized cargo, like bales of cotton, which don’t fill all available gaps.
