Gross tonnage is calculated by measuring a ship's volume (from keel to funnel, to the outside of the hull framing) and applying a mathematical formula. Gross tonnage (GT, G.T. or gt) is a measure of a ship's overall internal volume. Gross tonnage is different from gross register tonnage. [1]
Gross register tonnage (GRT, grt, g.r.t., gt), or gross registered tonnage, is a ship's total internal volume expressed in "register tons", each of which is equal to 100 cubic feet (2.83 m 3). Replaced by Gross Tonnage (GT), gross register tonnage uses the total permanently enclosed capacity of the vessel as its basis for volume.
Gross tonnage – GT – Not expressible in units of mass or weight but is based on the total volume of the vessel in cubic meters with a formula applied. GT replaced Gross register tonnage (GRT), which is now an obsolete unit. Net tonnage – NT – Not expressible in units of mass or weight but is based on the cargo volume of the vessel in ...
Gross tonnage is a dimensionless index calculated with a mathematical formula. While this template allows, for the sake of backwards compatibility, the use of "tons" as the unit for gross tonnage, this is not correct and should not be used in future articles.

Tonnage is a measure of the capacity of a ship, and is commonly used to assess fees on commercial shipping.The term derives from the taxation paid on tuns or casks of wine. In modern maritime usage, "tonnage" specifically refers to a calculation of the volume or cargo volume of a ship.
