Definitions:
air draught:
height of the highest point of a vessel above the water-line. (Adapted from UKHO NP100/2004)
beam:
The width of the ship. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ship_measurements; 24 July 2010)
displacement tonnage:
A measurement of the weight of the vessel, usually used for warships. (Merchant ships are usually measured based on the volume of cargo space; see tonnage). Displacement is expressed either in long tons of 2,240 pounds or metric tonnes of 1,000 kg. Since the two units are very close in size (2,240 pounds = 1,016 kg and 1,000 kg = 2,205 pounds), it is common not to distinguish between them. To preserve secrecy, nations sometimes misstate a warship's displacement. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ship_measurements; 24 July 2010)
displacement light
The weight of the ship excluding cargo, fuel, ballast, stores, passengers, and crew, but with water in the boilers to steaming level.(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ship_measurements; 24 July 2010)
displacement loaded:
The weight of the ship including cargo, passengers, fuel, water, stores, dunnage and such other items necessary for use on a voyage, which brings the vessel down to her load draft. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ship_measurements; 24 July 2010)
draught:
The depth of water necessary to float a vessel fully loaded. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ship_measurements; 24 July 2010)
deadweight tonnage:
The difference between displacement, light and displacement, loaded. A measure of the ship's total carrying capacity. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ship_measurements; 24 July 2010)
gross tonnage:
The entire internal cubic capacity of the ship expressed in tons of 100 cubic feet to the ton, except certain spaces with are exempted such as: peak and other tanks for water ballast, open forecastle bridge and poop, access of hatchways, certain light and air spaces, domes of skylights, condenser, anchor gear, steering gear, wheel house, galley and cabin for passengers. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ship_measurements; 24 July 2010)
net tonnage:
Obtained from the gross tonnage by deducting crew and navigating spaces and allowances for propulsion machinery.(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ship_measurements; 24 July 2010)
length overall (L.O.A.)
The maximum length of the ship.(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ship_measurements; 24 July 2010)
length at waterline (L.W.L.)
The ship's length measured at the waterline (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ship_measurements; 24 July 2010)
