Guideline

 When calculating the grain heeling moment as the quotient of the volumetric heeling moment divided by the stowage factor, stowage factor should be taken to mean the volume per unit weight of the grain cargo as mandated by part B, section I(A), and without any adjustment thereto. This value should be calculated from the test weight of the grain as furnished by the loading facility.
