What is the capacity of dry bulk cargo tanks?

1500 cubic feet 1000 cubic feet 2000 cubic feet 500 cubic feet

Correct Answer:

1500 cubic feet

Explanation:

Capacity refers to the space inside a cargo tank that can actually hold bulk material, expressed in cubic feet. For dry bulk cargo tanks, a common per-tank size used in practice is about 1500 cubic feet, which is roughly 42.5 cubic meters. This per-tank capacity is what you use to estimate how much cargo weight can be loaded (weight depends on cargo density), and to figure total capacity when there are multiple tanks. The value 1500 cubic feet reflects that standard size, making it the best choice.
