Dead Weight TonnageDead weight tonnage refers to the weight, in long tons, that a ship can safely carry when fully loaded. It is a unit of shipping cargo capacity. It also describes the total weight of a ship if it has sunk as a sunken ship does not displace water, making the term 'displacement' incorrect.
