Understanding General Arrangement Plans

The GA or general arrangement plan provides a side view, plan views of key decks, and cross-sections of a ship. It displays the division of the ship into compartments like tanks, engine room, and holds. It also shows the location of bulkheads, superstructure, and equipment. The GA plan includes key dimensions, volumes of cargo holds, tonnage, deadweight, engine power, service speed, and class of the ship. The capacity plan shows longitudinal and transverse profiles of the ship. It displays metrics like gross tonnage, net register tonnage, deadweight capacity at different loadlines, and displacement and deadweight scales. It provides cargo capacities, positions of loadlines, and

Que2. What is Capacity Plan and its detail Description ?

Capacity Plan
The capacity plan shows a longitudinal and transverse profile of the vessel, and diagrams of loadlines as
well as the principal particulars, such as:
 Gross tonnage; net register tonnage;
 Deadweight capacity on winter, summer and tropical loadline;
 Deadweight and displacement scale on varying draught; this scale also shows the moment to
change  trim 1 cm  and the TPC for each draught;
 A diagram with measurements of winter, summer, tropical and fresh water loadlines with a diagram
of the position of the deck line; this is usually placed alongside the deadweight and displacement scale
so that the deadweight or displacement can be found for any loadline at a glance;
 Grain and bale capacity of all cargo spaces in cubic feet or cubic metres and the position of the
centre of gravity of the space; bale capacity of all cargo spaces in cubic feet or cubic metres;
 Capacity in cubic metres and tonnes of double bottom tanks, peak tanks, deep tanks and fuel tanks
and the positions of the centre of gravity of these spaces ;
 Capacity of all stores and refrigerating chambers.
