Correction

Correction required: Stowage factors are measured in imperial measurements are in Long Tons (not metric tonnes) per cubic foot (or metric tonnes per cubic meter)

As an aside the conversion used in the broking industry to convert between the two is 35.315 (see stowage factor of water, needs two more dicimals)
