Deadweight cargo capacity
C1. Commercial shipping, chartering, economics and financeDefinition
DWCC, deadweight available for cargo after bunkers and stores.
DWCC, the deadweight a ship has left for revenue cargo once bunkers, fresh water, stores, and constants are deducted from total deadweight. It is the figure that matters commercially, because a high bunker load on a long voyage reduces the cargo a given ship can lift. Charterers compare DWCC, not gross deadweight, when matching a ship to a stem.
