Practice questions
Preparation prompts derived from this entry, not an official inspector interview script.
1Do hatch numbers and CC markings serve the same purpose?
No. Hatch numbers identify working cargo spaces; the source separately links CC markings to tonnage-counted spaces.
Where a finding may arise
Missing evidence, defects or gaps in familiarity against these checks may prevent a satisfactory answer. These are derived preparation concerns, not additional explicit finding criteria or reported past observations.
Past observations for practice

Source clarification
The PDF attributes its CC paragraph to a Load Lines reference despite discussing tonnage computation. Retain the printed check, but verify its applicable certification basis rather than treating that citation as resolved.
