Does anyone know if a stated cargo deck strength of (10Te/m2 in this case) stated on vessel brochures is inclusive of sea motion forces ? ie Can I put a dead load of 10Te/m2 on the back deck or can I only put on something like 6Te/m2 by the time I account for sea motion forces.

You would need to verify with the brochure's source, but generally Classed ratings do not account for cargo accelerations.
I used to count sand. Now I don't count at all.

I would say that classed ratings do account for cargo accelerations, DNVGL do state that for a distributed load, the static and dynamic pressures due to this distributed load shall be considered. But the brochure's data has, as stated, to be verified.
