1 |

2 |
displacement tonnage |
a measurement of the weight of the vessel, usually used for warships. (Merchant ships are usually measured based on the volume of cargo space). Displacement is expressed either in long tons of 2,240 pounds or metric tonnes of 1,000kg. Since the two units are very close in size (2,240 pounds = 1,016kg = 2,205 pounds), it is common not to distinguish between them. |
3 |
displacement light |
the weight of the vessel excluding cargo, fuel, ballast, stores, passengers and crew, but with water in the boilers to steaming level |
4 |
displacement loaded |
the weight of the vessel including cargo, passengers, fuel, water, stores, dunnage and such other items necessary for use on a voyage, which brings the vessel down to her load draft. |
5 |
draught |
the depth of the keel below the waterline at any point along the hull |
6 |
deadweight tonnage |
deadweight tonnage (also known as deadweight and "payload", abbreviated to DWT, D.W.T., d.w.t., or dwt) is a measure of how much weight a vessel is carrying or can safely carry. It is the sum of the weights of cargo, fuel, fresh water, ballast water, provisions, passengers and crew. The term is often used to specify a vessels maximum permissible deadweight, the DWT when the vessel is fully loaded so that its Plimsoll line is at the point of submersion, although it may also denote the actual DWT of a vessel not loaded to capacity. |
7 |
gross tonnage |
the entire internal cubic capacity of the vessel expressed in tons of 100 cubic feet to the ton, except certain spaces which are exempted such as: peak and other tanks for water ballast, open forecastle bridge and poop, access of hatchways, certain light and air spaces, domes of skylights, condenser, anchor gear, steering gear, wheel house, galley and cabin for passengers. This characteristic is not a unit of weight. |
8 |
net tonnage |
obtained from the gross tonnage by deducting crew and navigating spaces and allowances for propulsion machinery. This characteristics is not a unit of weight. |
9 |
height |
the height of the highest point of a vessels structure (e.g. radar aerial, funnel, cranes, masthead) above her waterline |
10 |
length overall |

11 |
length at waterline |
