Ship measurement. Test

1. Dia 1

2. “A ship a weight of water that is equal to its own weight.”

3. “A ship displaces a weight of water that is equal to its own weight.”

Therefore a vessel will
experience an
that is equal to the
of the displaced water.

4. Dia 4

When
is equal to
the vessel will float.

5. Dia 5

By “displacement” is meant the
of a vessel and her contents,
or the
of the
watermass.

6. Dia 6

• Gross tonnage equals the entire volume
of the
spaces.

7. Dia 7

• Net tonnage can be calculated by
the spaces that are not used for
cargo from the
tonnage.

8. Dia 8

• Harbour
are usually calculated
according to the gross tonnage, but some
ports use the vessel’s net tonnage.

9. Dia 9

By deadweight is understood the weight of
the vessel’s
