Subject: TONNAGE

Author: john strange (measure for measure)

[ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 12/02/08 5:16am Reading a piece the other day about a ship that had two refits. At the end of each the registered tonnage of the ship changed, it was reduced. Back in the days we sailed I was taught that tonnage was measured by the displacem,ent of water. Modern ships I am infoormed go by cubic meterage, one metre to the ton. How would a refit reduce the tonnage of a passenger ship unless they reduced passenger numbers?
