net tonnage
Net tonnage (often abbreviated as NT, N.T. or nt) is a dimensionless index calculated from the total moulded volume of the ship's cargo spaces by using a mathematical formula. Defined in ''The International Convention on Tonnage Measurement of Ships'' that was adopted by the International Maritime Organization in 1969, the net tonnage replaced the earlier net register tonnage (NRT) which denoted the volume of the ship's revenue-earning spaces in "register tons", units of volume equal to . Net tonnage is used to calculate the port duties and should not be taken as less than 30 per cent of the ship's gross tonnage.〔(International Convention on Tonnage Measurement of Ships ). International Maritime Organization (IMO). 〕
Net tonnage is not a measure of the weight of the ship or its cargo, and should not be confused with terms such as deadweight tonnage or displacement. Also, unlike the net register tonnage, the net tonnage is unitless and thus can not be defined as "tons" or "net tons".
==History==
The International Convention on Tonnage Measurement of Ships, 1969 was adopted by IMO in 1969.〔International Maritime Organization, 1982.〕 Ships built before that date were given 12 years to migrate from their existing tonnage to use of NT and GT.〔 The phase-in period was provided to allow ships time to adjust economically, since tonnage is the basis for satisfying manning regulations and safety rules.〔 Tonnage is also the basis for calculating registration fees and port dues.〔 One of the Convention's goals was to ensure that the new units "did not differ too greatly" from the traditional GRT and NRT units.〔
Both NT and GT are obtained by measuring ship's volume and then applying a mathematical formula.〔 Net tonnage is based on "the moulded volume of all cargo spaces of the ship" while gross tonnage is based on "the moulded volume of all enclosed spaces of the ship".〔 In addition, a ship's net tonnage is constrained to be no less than 30% of her gross tonnage.〔
