4 Regulations 23.4.3 and 23.4.4

  4.1 In accordance with paragraph 4.4, cargo density is determined by dividing the total deadweight at the summer load line draft by the total cargo volume. It is recognized that loading the vessel with maximum cargo and no consumables may result in trim of the vessel. However, for the purposes of this regulation calculations should be carried out based on a hypothetical condition with zero trim and zero heel. The use of a hypothetical condition rather than actual load cases was adopted in order to insure uniform application of this regulation.
