Under certain
circumstances, the surveyor or ship's officer may have no choice but be
restricted to carrying out a deadweight survey. The weights of all measurable
non-cargo elements on the vessel are determined; bunkers, fresh water, ballast,
stores etc. These are then added to the light displacement (including any
lightship constant). This total is then deducted from the present displacement
to produce the approximate weight of cargo on board.
