🔍 Key Concepts

• Difference between weight and volume when discussing tonnage • Meaning of "ton" in gross tonnage versus long tons or short tons • Spaces that may be included or excluded when calculating a vessel's tonnage

💭 Think About

• Look at each choice and decide: is it talking about weight or about internal size/space? • Ask yourself: when naval architects talk about gross tonnage, are they more concerned with how heavy the ship is, or how big it is inside? • Which option mentions a way of describing the overall internal capacity of the vessel rather than how much it weighs?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify whether gross tonnage is a measure of volume or weight • Check if the option mentions internal volume or enclosed spaces, not fuel or cargo weight • Eliminate any choice that clearly describes mass/weight in tons instead of a measurement of the ship’s size
