Weight of a Cruise Ship Tonnage and Draft
Sponsored Links
The weight of all most famous big bigger biggest cruise ships in the world, sorted by the passenger lines and companies names. Official cruise ship weight data for all vessels 20,000+ tons (with a few "small" exceptions of very popular passenger ships, or the smaller cruise ships of the world's most renown operators).
Glossary Cruise Help
The weight of cruise ships is measured in "gross tonnage" (GT), and relates to the vessel's internal volume (keel to funnel, and to the outside of the hull), and applying a math formula. The cruise ships tonnage is generally used for determining registration fees, port fees, safety rules, regulations. Another ship data (though not included in this survey) is the vessel's "deadweight tonnage" (DWT), concerning the weight a ship can safely carry (cargo, passengers and crew, fuel, etc).
The cruise ship draft (or draught) measures the number of meters (or feet) from the waterline to the lowest point of the keel (or the ship's "invisible" portion below the surface, and especially when loaded). The cruise ships draft is very important when considering docking in a particular port, sailing through channels and the inland waterways of the continents (rivers and canals).
