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.
