🔥Basic explanation of Gross Tonnage, Net Tonnage, and Deadweight Tonnage

⭐️1. Gross Tonnage (GT):
This measures the "total inside space" of the ship, including all areas like cargo holds, engine rooms, and crew spaces. It’s about "volume", not weight.

⭐️2. Net Tonnage (NT):
Focuses on the space available for cargo.
Net Tonnage is the volume of the spaces that can generate revenue.

⭐️3. Deadweight Tonnage (DWT):
This measures how much weight the ship can safely carry, including cargo, fuel, water, crew, and supplies. It’s about the ship’s "carrying capacity", not its size.

🌟Key Difference in Use:
👨‍💻Gross Tonnage and Net Tonnage are about volume/size and are used for legal and port purposes.

👨‍💻Deadweight Tonnage is about weight and tells you how much the ship can safely carry
