🔍 Key Concepts

• Meaning of gross tonnage (GT) in vessel measurement • Difference between tonnage and weight/displacement • Relationship between volume of enclosed spaces and tonnage

💭 Think About

• Is gross tonnage based on how heavy the ship is, or how big its internal spaces are? • Which choice talks about a measure that can be used for fees, regulations, and manning, rather than an actual physical weight? • Look at which answers mention volume versus those that mention weight or draft; which better matches the word "tonnage" in this context?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which options describe weight (mass) and which describe size/volume. • Remember that one register ton relates to a fixed number of cubic feet of internal volume. • Eliminate any options that clearly refer to draft or actual weight of ship and cargo, since that is not what gross tonnage is used for.
