4.3 Weights and centres of mass

 Estimated total weight and centre of mass of items such as:

  • .1 passengers and their effects;

  • .2 crew and their effects;

  • .3 vehicles in the case of car ferries;

  • .4 deck cargoes;

  • .5 hanging loads;

  • .6 container cargoes.

 In the case of ships intended for the carriage of containers, a container stowage plan should be included using a numbering system to enable the weight and centre of every container on board to be obtained. The maximum and minimum (unladen) weight of all containers should be given.

 Where necessary, guidance should be given as to the methods used in assessing weights and centres of mass.
