What is the opposite of cargo?

Question

What is the opposite of cargo?

Answer 1

Well if Cargo is space taken up in a hold then if it was a liquid cargo the space left (the opposite of cargo) would be called ullage, or if it was a solid cargo the space left would be called broken stowage (spaces in the hold where cargo cant fit in)

Answer 2

? OGRAC

Answer 3

Deadfreight, storage space

Answer 4

cargo means it holds supplies but like a regular vehicle holds people

Answer 5

Truckstop

Answer 6

If a ship can load more cargo, has room in her holds & it is within the charterparty, but the shipper can not, for whatever reasons, can not supply this cargo, the amount of cargo not loaded is called deadfreight.  A ship owner gets paid by the ton and the freight rate is determined by the amount of cargo that is negotiated during the charterering of the ship.  Lots of things come into play though, a letter of credit may be in place that says the recievers of the cargo only have XX amount of money to pay for the cargo, so some times a max/min is in place.  Deadfreight will go back against the shippers who will have to pony-up and pay the owner for the lost revenue for not getting all the cargo the ship requested.  in actuality, it is much more complicated than this.

Broken space is the void space btwen cargoes on a general cargo ship, or a break bulk ship.

The term ullage is the measurement of the point on deck where liquids are measured (sounding pipe, UTI  or ullage plug) and the level of the cargo in the tank.  This is used for measuring the volume in liquid tanks (cargo, fuel, ballast water and fresh water)  A sounding is the measurment from the bottom of the tank to the level of the liquid.  (the oppisite of an ullage).  On shore tanks, it is sometimes refered to as an innage and an outage.

Don't think this answers your question, but good luck just the same.

Answer 7

Carstop?

No, seriously, that's an odd question. Ships without cargo do sail deadhead (empty) or in ballast (carrying water for stabilities' sake).

Answer 8

Car no go
