Cargo volume was meager compared with pickup trucks.

This increased total available cargo volume as the original location intruded into the cargo bin area.

Passenger liners, with a small cargo volume relative to their gross tonnage had fairly constant and predictable ballasting requirements.

This greatly simplifies transportation of cargo containers at slight cost of cargo volume.

The cargo volume in the same year amounted to 780,000 tonnes, an increase of 8.9% over 2006.
