   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shipping_ton

   A shipping ton, freight ton, measurement ton or ocean ton is a measure of volume used for shipments of freight in large vehicles, trains or ships. In the USA, it is equivalent to 40 cubic feet (1.1 m 3) while in the UK it is 42 cubic feet (1.2 m 3). [1] [2] It should not be confused with other types of ton which also measure volume.

   Cube – The cargo carrying capacity of a ship, measured in cubic metres or feet. There are two common types: Bale Cube (or Bale Capacity) – The space available for cargo measured in cubic metres or feet to the inside of the cargo battens, on the frames, and to the underside of the beams. It is a measurement of capacity for cargo in bales or ...

4. Stowage factor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stowage_factor

   In shipping, the stowage factor indicates how many cubic metres of space one tonne (or cubic feet of space one long ton) of a particular type of cargo occupies in a hold of a cargo ship. [1] It is calculated as the ratio of the stowage space required under normal conditions, including the stowage losses caused by the means of transportation and ...

5. Dimensional weight - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dimensional_weight

   The concept of dimensional weight has been adopted by the transportation industry worldwide as a uniform means of establishing a minimum charge for the cubic space a package occupies. In fact, UPS [ 1 ] and FedEx [ 2 ] both announced that starting 2015, shipping charges on all shipments (air and ground) will be determined by greater of the ...

   Gross register tonnage (GRT, grt, g.r.t., gt), or gross registered tonnage, is a ship's total internal volume expressed in "register tons", each of which is equal to 100 cubic feet (2.83 m 3). Replaced by Gross Tonnage (GT), gross register tonnage uses the total permanently enclosed capacity of the vessel as its basis for volume. Typically this ...

8. Long ton - Wikipedia

9. Gross tonnage - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gross_tonnage

   V, the ship's total volume in cubic metres (m 3), and; K, a multiplier based on the ship volume. The value of the multiplier K increases logarithmically with the ship's total volume (in cubic metres) and is applied as an amplification factor in determining the gross tonnage value. K is calculated with a formula which uses the common or base-10 ...
