Define Gross Tonnage and Net Tonnage , Deadweight

 Gross register tonnage (GRT) and net register tonnage (NRT) have been replaced by gross tonnage (GT) and net tonnage (NT) which express the size and volume of a ship.

Gross tonnage (GT) is a function of the volume of all of a ship's enclosed spaces (from keel to funnel) measured to the outside of the hull framing.

Net tonnage (NT) is a dimensionless index calculated from the total moulded volume of the ship's cargo spaces.

Deadweight (DWT) is the maximum deadweight of the ship and measure the ship carrying capacity.
