2. Ship measurements - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ship_measurements

   Deadweight tonnage (DWT) is a measure of how much weight a ship can carry. [1] [2] [3] It is the sum of the weights of cargo, fuel, fresh water, ballast water, provisions, passengers, and crew. [1] Draft or draught (d) or (T) – The vertical distance from the bottom of the keel to the waterline. Used mainly to determine the minimum water depth ...

3. Waterline length - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waterline_length

   A vessel's length at the waterline (abbreviated to L.W.L) [1] is the length of a ship or boat at the level where it sits in the water (the waterline). The LWL will be shorter than the length of the boat overall (length overall or LOA) as most boats have bows and stern protrusions that make the LOA greater than the LWL. As a ship becomes more ...

4. List of longest ships - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_longest_ships

   Size comparison between five of the longest ships of their type. The world's longest ships are listed according to their overall length (LOA), which is the maximum length of the vessel measured between the extreme points in fore and aft.

5. Chinamax - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinamax

   Comparison of bounding box of Chinamax with some other ship sizes in isometric view.. Chinamax is a standard of ship measurements that allow conforming ships to use various harbours when fully laden, the maximum size of such a ship being 24 m (79 ft) draft, 65 m (213 ft) beam and 360 m (1,180 ft) length overall.

6. Length between perpendiculars - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Length_between_perpendiculars

   Graphical representation of the dimensions used to describe a ship. Length between perpendiculars (often abbreviated as p/p, p.p., pp, LPP, LBP or Length BPP) is the length of a ship along the summer load line from the forward surface of the stem, or main bow perpendicular member, to the after surface of the sternpost, or main stern perpendicular member.

7. Length overall - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Length_overall

   Length overall (LOA, o/a, o.a. or oa) is the maximum length of a vessel's hull measured parallel to the waterline. This length is important while docking the ship. It is the most commonly used way of expressing the size of a ship, and is also used for calculating the cost of a marina berth [1] (for example, £2.50 per metre LOA).
