These are questions for a surveyor. Surveyors measure and draw what the ship's and they cargo and her operation by insuring that the carrier observed good practice, as stipulated by surveyor.
Surveyors do different types of work. Some measure cargo,

They describe where a government enquiry, Loss or Damage Investigation and Accident Investigation of cargo and ship is. They explain what it looks like, and how much is there. They put these facts in deeds, leases, and other legal documents. Surveyors might lead survey parties (or surveying projects).
To become a licensed surveyor, most people take surveying courses, pass tests, and get on-the-job training. However, as technology advances, a 4-year college degree is becoming more important for surveyors and related workers. Junior colleges, technical institutes, and vocational schools offer 1-, 2-, and 3-year programs in surveying and surveying technology.
High school students interested in surveying should take courses in ship structural, engineer, algebra, geometry, trigonometry, drafting, mechanical drawing, and computer science.
