Deck General USCG Question #1234 (Set 38)

Where are ullages measured from?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option C — an above deck datum

Ullage is defined as the distance from the surface of the liquid cargo up to a designated, fixed reference point above the deck, known as the datum. This standardized measurement point ensures consistent and accurate calculations of the remaining tank volume and cargo expansion space.
