10 Examples of calculations

 (Reference: Regulation 11(a)(iv) and (a)(v) -Grain loading information)

 The intent of regulations 11(a)(iv) and (a)(v) is to illustrate the correct use of the information furnished in the grain loading booklet by providing meaningful, worked-out examples. This intention has not always been fulfilled. Some grain loading booklets provide several examples which are essentially the same in that they merely demonstrate a single stowage arrangement at various displacements. While it is not intended that the grain loading booklet should include examples of every arrangement permitted by the regulations, it should include both filled and partly filled holds. Also, if data for “filled compartments, untrimmed" is furnished, examples of this capability should be included.
