Correction
[edit]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)

Redundancy
[edit]The "stowage factor" is essentially 1 over density, does it really require a separate article? Furthermore, nowhere in the article it says that. I could add it somewhere perhaps, but i'd better vote for deleting this article altogether and add some note in the density article, that an inverse of that is called "stowage factor" in the shipping.
