Measurements, assumptions & sources +
20,000 tonne cargo load
A defined bulk load of 20,000 tonnes, excluding the carrying vessel. Actual cargo and vessel loads vary.
Defined examples — our methodology
The marked mass is calibrated. Unmeasured illustration details are representative.
Large cruise ship
A 300 m ship with a chosen 100,000 tonne displacement. This is mass, never gross tonnage; gross tonnage measures enclosed volume.
Defined examples — our methodology
The marked mass is calibrated. Unmeasured illustration details are representative.
