Gross & Net Tonnage of the Ships Part 1

Gross & Net Tonnage of the Ships (Part 1) The Moorsom System had formed the basis for most national tonnage measurements, although due to the varying interpretations and modifications made by individual countries considerable differences arose in the application of the system. A strong need was felt of a universal system. A new system was established by The International Convention adopted by IMO in 1969 to cater for the above. This system entered into force on 18 July 1982. In this video, Capt. S.S. Chaudhari talks about a few interesting systems that were followed in the past.
