Ship space, strength and comments:
Space - Hull below water (magazines/engines, low = better): 67.7 %
- Above water (accommodation/working, high = better): 136.7 %
Waterplane Area: 1,756 Square feet or 163 Square metres
Displacement factor (Displacement / loading): 194 %
Structure weight / hull surface area: 23 lbs/sq ft or 114 Kg/sq metre
