Bale Capacity
• Bale capacity is the space that is
available for bagged or baled
cargoes. Generally, a ship’s bale
capacity is about 7–10% less than
grain capacity. Ship bale and grain
capacity measurements can be
expressed in either cubic feet or
cubic meters.
Grain capacity
• Ship Grain Capacity is the capacity of
cargo spaces measured laterally to the
outside of frames, and vertically from
the tank tops to the top of the under
weather deck beams, including the area
contained within a ship’s hatchway
coamings. Grain capacity is therefore an
indication of space available for any bulk
cargo, not just for bulk grain.
