The gross tonnage of a ship has nothing to do with the weight of the ship, it is calculated by the volume of the ship. It is based on the volume of the ship. It is based on 100 cubic feet in imperial system or 2.83 cubic meters in metric system, and the result is the same for both systems. Therefore, there is no difference between metric and imperial system, the calculation method of gross tonnage is to measure the volume of the enclosed space of each part of the ship, if it is measured in feet, it is divided by the sum of the volume with not 100; if it is measured in meters, it is divided by 2.83, and the resultant quotient is the total tonnage of the ship (Gross tonnage).

Tonnage is calculated by volume:
The gross tonnage of a ship has nothing to do with the weight of the ship, it is calculated by the volume of the ship. It is based on the volume of the ship.

Gross tonnage in the ship's various tonnage occupies a very important position, because the ship's registration, statistics, etc. are based on it after the centralized ship calculated gross tonnage, minus the cockpit, engine room and other equipment on board or the need for work, that is, wherever possible to load cargo, passengers, etc. with the space are Net tonnage.
