Gross Tonnage (GT) refers to the volume of all ship's enclosed spaces (from keel to funnel) measured to the outside of the hull framing.
Net tonnage (NT) is based on a calculation of the volume of all cargo spaces of the ship. It indicates a vessel's earning space and is a function of the moulded volume of all cargo spaces of the ship.

What is gross tons of a ship?
Not a simple queston to answer. In general practical terms, the gross or deadweight tonnage may be expressed as the all-up tonnage of a ship when loaded to the the legal limit of her load marks. It is NOT the weight of the ship. Nor is it the displacement. Peter Cottman.
What is the classification of a ship according to its size?
Under international shipping regulations for manning levels, safety rules and registration fees, the unit of measurement of a ship's size is its GROSS TONNAGE.Gross tonnage is calculated by measuring the ship's volume from keel to funnel to the outside of its hull and applying a mathematical formula. Gross tonnage is different to a ship's deadweight tonnage, displacement tonnage or net tonnage and is in effect the moulded volume of enclosed spaces on board the vessel.

How do you find the gross tonnage of a vessel?
The gross tonnage calculation is defined in Regulation 3 of Annex 1 of The International Convention on Tonnage Measurement of Ships, 1969. It is based on two variables, and ultimately a one-to-one function of ship volume:V, the ship's total volume in cubic meters (m3), andK, a multiplier based on the ship volume.The value of the multiplier K varies in accordance with a ship's total volume (in cubic meters) and is applied as a kind of reduction factor in determining the gross tonnage value - which does not have a unit such as cubic meters or tons. For smaller ships, K is smaller, for larger ships, K is larger. K ranges from 0.22 to 0.32 and is calculated with a formula which uses the common or base-10 logarithm: K = 0.2 + 0.02 x log 10 (V)Once V and K are known, gross tonnage is calculated using the formula, whereby GT is a function of V:GT = K x VAs an example, we can calculate the gross tonnage of a ship with 10,000 m^3 total volume.K = 0.2 + 0.02 x log 10 (10,000) = 0.2 + 0.02 x 4 = 0.2 + 0.08 = 0.28 Then the gross tonnage is calculated:0.28 x 10,000 = 2800 GT
What is the current largest ship in the world today?
The largest ship in the world is the supertanker TI Asia, and her twins (TI Africa, TI Europe and TI Oceania) at 234,000 Gross Tonnage. 379 meters long. The second current largest ship is Oasis of the Seas and her twin, Allure of the Seas, at 225,000 Gross Tonnage. 360 meters long. Although Emma Maersk is longer (396 meters) the measurement of size for merchant ships is the total volume (Gross Tonnage), and Emma Maersk is 170,000 GT.
How do get get the net tonnage of a vessel by its dead weight tonnage?
You can't get it directly, as one is a measure of volume and the other of mass. Net Tonnage is a measure of volume of a ship, more precisely the volume of a ship that's useful for carrying cargo and passengers. So, essentially you take the internal volume of the ship and remove the volume of the fuel, engine spaces, crew quarters and so on. 100 cubic feet is the volume used for calculating net and gross registered (GRT) tonnage of a ship. Dead weight tonnage is the actual weight of what a ship can carry. To get this, you take the displacement of a fully loaded ship and then subtract from that the displacement of it when totally empty. And since displacement is actually the amount of water displaced by a vessel, it corresponds to the actual weight of the ship.
