	Tonnage - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Gross Register Tonnage represents the total internal volume of a vessel, with some exemptions for non-productive spaces such as crew quarters; 1 gross register ton is equal to a volume of 100 cubic feet (2.83 m³).
		Gross register tonnage was replaced by gross tonnage in 1994, under the Tonnage Measurement convention of 1969.
		Gross Tonnage refers to the volume of all ship's enclosed spaces (from keel to funnel) measured to the outside of the hull framing.

	Navis.gr - Ship and Shipping
		Gross tonnage is the capacity of the spaces in the ship's hull and of the enclosed spaces above the deck available for cargo, stores, fuel, passengers, and crew.
		Net tonnage is the gross tonnage less the spaces used for the accommodation of the ship's Master, Officers, Crew, and the navigation and propulsion machinery.
		The components of this world fleet, by type of cargo, were 6,153 oil tankers of 132,438,195 gross tons; 4,843 ore and bulk carriers of 116,305,556 gross tons; 16,206 general cargo ships of 50,528,514 gross tons; 1,249 fully cellular container ships of 25,979,678 gross tons; and 4,284 ferries and passenger ships of 11,818,971 gross tons.

		Gross tonnage is the interior volume of a vessel as measured in units of 100 cubic feet.
		Gross tonnage is a measure of all enclosed interior space of a vessel, including all compartments, machinery spaces and most enclosed deckhouses.
		There is an even easier way to compute gross tonnage, however, using the simple formula:where: length is the length overall, not including bowsprits, boomkins, figureheads, etc.; breadth is a vessel's maximum beam; and depth is the vertical distance from gunwale to bottom of keel.

	Service requirements for limited master of near coastal steam or motor vessels of not more than 100 gross tons
		The license is limited to the maximum tonnage on which at least 25 percent of the required experience was obtained, or 150 percent of the maximum tonnage on which at least 50 percent of the service was obtained, whichever is higher.
		Limitations are in multiples of 1000 gross tons, using the next higher figure when an intermediate tonnage is calculated.
		For example, for a license as master of vessels of not more than 1600 gross tons endorsed for auxiliary sail, the applicant must meet the total experience requirements for the conventional license, including time as mate, and the proper tonnage experience, including at least one year of deck service on appropriately sized auxiliary sail vessels.

		For service on vessels of under 200 gross tons, owners of vessels may attest to their own service; however, those who do not own a vessel must obtain letters or other evidence from licensed personnel or the owners of the vessels listed.

		The tare tons of each sample shipment were estimated by multiplying the average equipment weights by the number of equipment units shown on the waybill record.
		Estimates derived from the waybill sample indicate that 121 million gross tons are transported in the I-5 corridor by railroads.
		An initial estimate of the average tons per truck is made by dividing the net tons in the rail car by the ratio of the cubic capacity of the rail car to the cubic capacity of the trailer.

	Waltons & Morse - Bulletins - Limitation of Liability for Maritime Claims - New limits come into force
		The existing requirement that limits of liability are to be calculated in Special Drawing Rights ("SDR") by reference to the gross tonnage of the vessel concerned (in accordance with the Tonnage Measurement Convention 1969) is not altered by the Protocol.
		That policy continues under the new regime, which provides that the limit for all vessels below 300 gross tons will effectively be 50 per cent of the minimum prescribed by the Protocol for vessels with a tonnage that does not exceed 2,000 tons.
		The 1976 Convention enables a shipowner to limit liability for passenger claims resulting from death or personal injury by providing a limitation fund calculated by reference to the number of passengers the vessel is authorised to carry according to her certificate, up to a maximum of 25 million SDR.

	Long ton - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Long Ton (sometimes known as a Gross Ton, Weight Ton, or Imperial Ton) is the name for the unit called the "Ton" in the Avoirdupois or Imperial system of measurements, as formerly used in the United Kingdom and several other Commonwealth countries.
		The standard ton in the U.S. measurement system is the "short ton", equal to 2000 pounds (exactly 907.18474 kg).
		Both long and short tons are defined as 20 hundredweights, but a hundredweight is 112 pounds (which is equal to 8 stone) in the Imperial system (long or gross hundredweight) and 100 pounds in the US system (short or net hundredweight).

		Passenger sailing vessels classified as subchapter C or T that are less than 100 gross tons, and uninspected vessels over 100 gross tons, shall comply with the small passenger sailing vessel requirements in sections S1.1 through S1.4.
		A subchapter C passenger sailing vessel greater than 100 gross tons would not be classified as a small sailing vessel and would comply with the provisions for "H and K" vessels.
		Therefore, even if a sailboat is greater than 100 gross tons, but is classified as a T boat by the Coast Guard, the sailboat would fall under these small boat access provisions.

	TGOL - Friedrich der Grosse/City of Honolulu
		This ship was far ahead in size and accommodation compared to other liners of the time, but she became somewhat of a failure, with only a small amount of North Atlantic passengers choosing her for a crossing.
		The Friedrich der Grosse did not have a strict schedule on where her permanent rout was supposed to be, and she was used either on the Australian run or on the North Atlantic, depending on where she was needed.
		After the reconstruction, which was completed the same year, the ship emerged with an impressive 10,696 gross tons compared to the 10,531 gross tons the ship had had when she entered service.

		In the first real attempt to tell the score in the fog-shrouded Battle of the Atlantic, the committee had revealed this shocking fact: 1,000,000 deadweight tons of shipping were sent to the bottom monthly in '42, the losses outweighing new U.S. and British construction.
		Gross tonnage is the entire internal cubic capacity of a vessel, with each 100 cubic feet calculated to represent one ton.
		While it is difficult to compare the two measurements, gross tonnage is usually computed as roughly one-third less than deadweight tonnage, e.g., Liberty ships have a dead weight of 10,800 tons, gross weight of 7,100 tons.

		The variation is more a measure of the efforts made to enforce the licensing requirements than a real indication of wide variation in the number of man employed, and the total is probably somewhat higher than indicated, with 30 000 as a conservative estimate.

		Steel bridge at FAST still in service after 800-million gross tons of accumulated traffic: after seven years and 800-million gross tons, steel bridge is ready for more fatigue tests and allows insight into how and why cracks develop
		With the accumulation of more than 800-million gross tons and five-million load cycles of 39-ton-axle-load traffic since 1997, the steel bridge at the Facility for Accelerated Service Testing has remained safe for ongoing full-scale fatigue tests.
		Even though new cracks have developed and propagated in both the 65- and 55.5-foot spans of the steel bridge, safety inspections at 25 to 30 mgt (0.15- to 0.2-million load cycles) intervals and appropriate maintenance have kept the bridge safe for continued train operations.
