How to calculate the tonnage of a ship based on the water gauge

Calculate tonnage by volume:

The total tonnage of a ship is completely independent of its weight and is calculated based on its volume It calculates 1 ton based on either 100 cubic feet in the imperial system or 2.83 cubic meters in the metric system, and the results are the same for both So there is no difference between metric and imperial systems for total tonnage. Its calculation method is to measure the volume of the enclosed space in each part of the ship. If measured in feet, the total volume is divided by less than 100; If measured in meters, the quotient obtained by dividing by 2.83 is the Gross tonnage of the ship

The total tonnage plays a very important role in various tonnages of ships, because the registration, statistics, etc. of ships are based on it. After calculating the total tonnage based on the central ship, deducting the cab, engine room, and other equipment or work needs on board, that is, any space that can be used to load goods, passengers, etc. is the net tonnage.
