  Note :

  Deadweight, a measurement of a ship's tonnage which indicates the actual carrying capacity of a merchant ship expressed in tons weight. The figure is arrived at by calculating the amount of water displaced by a ship when she is unloaded, but with her fuel tanks full and stores on board, and the amount of water similarly displaced when she is fully loaded with her cargo holds full. The difference expressed in tons (35 cubic feet of seawater = one ton) gives the ship's deadweight tonnage. It is usually expressed in shortened form as d.w.t.

  Termes :

  1. deadweight tonnage
  2. D.W.T.
  3. d.w.t.
