Which term defines the process of dividing the total volume of the ship in cubic feet (after omission of exempted spaces) by 100?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Gross tonnage vs. net tonnage definitions in 46 CFR (volume-based measurement, not weight) • Difference between tonnage (100 cubic feet units) and displacement (weight of water displaced) • Meaning of exempted spaces in tonnage measurement rules

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: Which of these options is defined directly by a ship’s enclosed volume measured in units of 100 cubic feet? • Which term specifically involves subtracting or omitting certain spaces before doing the calculation? • Which options describe weight or cargo capacity rather than the regulatory tonnage used for documentation and rules?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which term in the options is defined in regulations as volume (cubic feet) divided by 100 to get tons. • Check which term uses the phrase after deduction/omission of exempted spaces in its formal definition. • Confirm that you are not confusing weight-based terms (like displacement) with volume-based tonnage.
