Deadweight is the total weight of cargo, fuel, water, stores, passengers and crew, and their effects that a ship can safely carry. This is a key measure of a ship's capacity and capability. The deadweight represents the maximum amount of weight a ship can safely transport, which is an important factor in the ship's operations and design.
The other options are incorrect because:
A) Bale cubic refers to the internal volume of a ship's cargo holds, not its total weight capacity.
B) Loaded displacement is the total weight of the ship, including the deadweight, when fully loaded.
C) Gross tonnage is a measure of a ship's overall size and volume, not its weight capacity.
