Deadweight (DWT)and displacement are expressions of physical weight.
and GRT was a calculation of the number of 100 cubic foot 'boxes' a ship could accommodate in its enclosed space. NRT reflected the same figure, but just for the money earning spaces. Now the figure is based around cubic metres and is adjusted with a sliding figure to bring it more into line with the tonnages it was replacing.
Deadweight is how much the ship can carry, while displacement is how much water the ship has to move out of the way.
Tankers and bulk carriers will, more or less, have DWTs roughly two-thirds to double the GT. A container ship will have a DWT in close proximity to its GT, while passenger ships, gas carriers, and car carriers will have quite small DWTs compared to their GT.
To understand this a bit better, a cruise ship has lots of enclosed space. But the weight of the people it carries - even if they've overdone it on the buffet each day - isn't great.
A tanker of equivalent GT on the other hand, is full of oil and this weights a lot more.
Gross weight minus dross loss equals net weight regardless of weight units (pounds, Kgs, tons, tonnes...)
you bad person you bad person
Weight rating is what the power unit plus trailer is rated to handle. The gross weight is the actual weight of the units plus its cargo.
As far as my knowledge goes, the difference between net and gross values is that the gross value is the value before deductions, while net is basically after deductions from your gross value. Hope it helps!
The gross weight includes the item and any packaging that may be on it or the vehicle that is hauling it. Net weight refers to the weight of the item only. The weight of a dump truck filled with gravel would be the gross weight, but the net weight would be weight of the gravel by itself.
gross is when you are loaded curb empty
Gross tonnage is a technical term used to determine the size of a ship for legal reasonsA ton is a unit of measure weighing 2,000 pounds.This may also mean:TON: A ton of product + the weight of packaging.Gross Ton: Total weight of product and packaging.
15 tonns
I suppose that you think to tared weight. Net weight is the difference between gross weight and tared weight.
Gross weight minus dross loss equals net weight regardless of weight units (pounds, Kgs, tons, tonnes...)
The "tare" Tare is a term in weights and measurements which refers to the weight of an empty container.
The Titanic weighed 52,310 tons
Not a simple queston to answer. In general practical terms, the gross or deadweight tonnage may be expressed as the all-up tonnage of a ship when loaded to the the legal limit of her load marks. It is NOT the weight of the ship. Nor is it the displacement. Peter Cottman.
Just remember the fact that "gross" is german (and also french) for "large" therefore gross is "larger" than net. so in the case of income for example...your gross income is "larger" than your net income (i.e. gross income is before tax). in the case of a can of food, gross weight is "larger" than net weight (i.e. gross is weight of the food+tin+water...net weight is weight of just the food).
it is the expession given in terms of volume for the total capacity of vessel(gross tonnage) and for the cargo carrying capacity (net tonnage).
Gross register tonnage (GRT) represents the total internal volume of a vessel.
CURB WEIGHT: the wight of a vehicle when unladen with passenger(s) and/or cargo. GVW: weight of vehicle laden with cargo and passenger(s)
