To calculate the stowage factor manually or to build your own calculator, use these standard formulas:
SF=Volume in m3Weight in metric tonscap S cap F equals the fraction with numerator Volume in m cubed and denominator Weight in metric tons end-fraction
The stowage factor indicates the ratio between the volume of a cargo and its weight. It is typically expressed in: Cubic meters per metric ton ( Imperial: Cubic feet per long ton ( A low stowage factor (e.g., iron ore at 0.40
