2. Net tonnage - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Net_tonnage

   The Net tonnage calculation is defined in Regulation 4 of Annex 1 of The International Convention on Tonnage Measurement of Ships, 1969. It is based on three main variables: V c, the total volume of the ship's cargo spaces in cubic meters (m³), d, the ship's moulded draft amidships in meters, and; D, the ship's moulded depth amidships in metres

   However, if the package is of any other shape, then the calculation of volume will be more than the true volume of the package. Dimensional weight is also known as DIM weight, volumetric weight, or cubed weight. Freight carriers utilize the greater of the actual weight or dimensional weight to calculate shipping charges.

4. Compensated gross tonnage - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compensated_gross_tonnage

   Compensated Gross Tonnage (CGT) is an indicator of the amount of work that is necessary to build a given ship and is calculated by multiplying the tonnage of a ship by a coefficient, which is determined according to type and size of a particular ship.

5. Gross tonnage - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gross_tonnage

   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 nonlinear measure of a ship's overall internal volume. Gross tonnage is different from gross register tonnage. [1]

6. Freight rate - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freight_rate

   A freight rate (historically and in ship chartering simply freight [1]) is a price at which a certain cargo is delivered from one point to another. The price depends on the form of the cargo, the mode of transport (truck, ship, train, aircraft), the weight of the cargo, and the distance to the delivery destination.

7. Tonnage - Wikipedia
