Gross tonnage – GT – Not expressible in units of mass or weight but is based on the total volume of the vessel in cubic meters with a formula applied. GT replaced Gross register tonnage (GRT), which is now an obsolete unit. Net tonnage – NT – Not expressible in units of mass or weight but is based on the cargo volume of the vessel in ...
