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. It is always larger than gross register tonnage, though by how much depends on the vessel design. . It was a measurement of the enclosed spaces within a ship expressed in "tons" – a unit which was actually equivalent to 100 cubic feet.Tonnage measurements are now governed by an IMO Convention (International Convention on Tonnage Measurement of Ships, 1969 (London-Rules)), which applies to all ships built after July 1982. In accordance with the Convention, the correct term to use now is GT, which is a function of the moulded volume of all enclosed spaces of the ship.
Does anyone know a good or bad boat surveyor in the Annapolis, Solomons, Deale, Maryland area?
It is calculated by using the formula GT = K * V, where V = total volume in m3 and K = a figure from 0.22 up to 0.32, depending on the ship’s size (calculated by K = 0.2 + 0.02log10V). GT is consequently a measure of the overall size of the ship.

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.

Where is the exact bottom plug location?
Lots of places within the vessel (in her particular case for example, consider the 'buoyancy' chambers), while they would indeed constitute 'interior capacity', would not be suitable for the carriage of CARGO AND PASSENGERS - these of course go in 'suitable' places.
Such places are therefore the NET tonnage. (And upon this tonnage the dues are charged).
Have you ever been on a boat trip?
Add to these places ALL the other places that are 'unsuitable' for the carriage of cargo and passengers and you have your GROSS TONNAGE.
In summary then, 'gross tonnage' = all the interior places that are suitable for the carriage of cargo and passengers (net) … PLUS all the interior places that are not! (= gross)! …

How can I have a sienticfic rellation ship?
[Basically, 'gross' and / or 'net' tonnage must be considered as totally separate and distinct from 'displacement' - the mass of the vessel. It's all to do with interior capacity. After all, if you think about it, 45,000 tons does seem a bit shy for the "weight", "mass" or "displacement" of a hunk of iron the size of the Titanic! With or without load / cargo!]

Note, with regard to Mark T's comments, the Titanic wasn't built after 1982 and these, imperial, rules would have been used for calculating her dues. But the principles (moulded volume etc) have always been the same. To calculate this, look up Simpson's rule. Very accurate. Alternatively, the Trapezoidal rule is easier, but less accurate.

The term 'Gross Weight' or 'Gross Vehicle Weight' with regards to HGV's means that that amount is the most that the vehicle is ever allowed to weigh. If the GVW is 38 Tons and when loaded the vehicle is weighed at say 39 Tons then it's considered overweight and therefore illegal to drive on the public highway until it's weight it reduced to it's GVW or less.I don't know about boats or ships but the term is the same so I can only guess that's what it means.
Perhaps the most the Titanic was designed to weigh with all passengers,crew,equipment and fully fuelled was 45,000 Tons?
