The ship will float lower. Even though the foam balls are lighter than water they are still heavier than the air they replace in the ship's hold making the ship heavier than an empty one.

How much does a super tanker weights?

A super tanker typically weighs around 200,000 to 320,000 metric tons when fully loaded with cargo.


What happens to the water level when the ship is loaded?

The ship becomes lower in the water. See the Plimsoll Line. ______________ The ship settles in the water at the point where the volume of the ship under the water i.e. the weight of the water it displaces is equal to the weight of the ship. ______________ I rather think I said that, though in fewer words; see the Plimsoll Line, probably the simplest invention in human history. Refer to the Merchant Shipping Act of 1875 (British Parliament).


How is gross combination weight rating different from gross combination weight?

Gross combination weight rating (GCWR) is the maximum weight limit determined by the vehicle manufacturer, including the weight of the vehicle, passengers, cargo, and towed trailer. Gross combination weight (GCW) is the actual measured weight of the vehicle, passengers, cargo, and trailer when fully loaded. The GCWR is a set limit, while the GCW can vary based on how the vehicle is loaded.


Difference between an empty ship and loaded ship in sea water?

An empty ship has less displacement and sits higher in the water compared to a loaded ship, which has more displacement and sits lower in the water due to the added weight of cargo. This difference affects stability, maneuverability, and fuel efficiency of the ship.

How would a captain know he was carrying to much cargo?

there is a line on the side of the ship, as the cargo is loaded the ship sinks deeper into the water, when the the reaches the water, they must stop loading. That is the low tech method, nowadays with computers, shipping companies know down to the pound what has been loaded onto the ship. The computers are even smart enough to load containers that will be need first onto the top so they can be unloaded easier.

A tank is loaded with 9000 barrels of gasoline The temperature of the product is 27 degrees Celsius and it has the coefficient of expansion of 0008 The net amount of cargo loaded is?

To calculate the net amount of cargo loaded, you would need to know the initial volume of the 9000 barrels of gasoline (since barrels alone do not provide a specific volume measure). With the given coefficient of expansion, you could then determine the volume change caused by the temperature increase from 27 degrees Celsius. By accounting for this change in volume, you can calculate the net amount of cargo loaded after the temperature change.


What is a direct call port?

A sea port where goods are delivered directly by the vessel which originally loaded the cargo without shifting or transhipping the cargo enroute.


What thewhite line is called on the side of a ship?

The lines drawn around the hull of a ship near the water-line is called a "Plimsoll line". This horizontal line is easily seen when the ship is empty and therefore riding higher out of the water. The more cargo loaded into ship the deeper it sinks into the water, and a ship can only be loaded with cargo etc down to this line and no furthur. Before its introduction there was no safe-loading-line on a vessel to prevent overloading by unscrupulous owners.


What is the maximum density that a fully loaded cargo ship can have without sinking?

0.9 max of density


How much fuel will use Antonov an-12 with max loaded cargo from Moscow to New York?

A tank is loaded with 9000 barrel of gasoline The temperature of the product is 27 degrees Celsius and it has the coefficient of expansion of 0008 The net amount of cargo loaded is?

To find the net amount of cargo loaded, you need to consider the expansion of the gasoline due to the change in temperature. Since the coefficient of expansion is 0.0008 per degree Celsius, you can calculate the increase in volume of the gasoline when it heats up from 27 degrees Celsius to its final temperature. You can then subtract this increase in volume from the initial volume to find the net amount of cargo loaded.


How are dry bulk cargo loaded?

Dry bulk cargo is typically loaded using specialized equipment such as conveyor belts, grabber cranes, or bulk loaders. The process involves transporting the cargo from storage facilities, like silos or warehouses, directly into the ship's holds. Once aboard, the cargo is distributed evenly to maintain the ship's stability during transit. Safety measures are also implemented to prevent spillage and ensure efficient loading.
