Tonnage denotes a vessel's cargo-carrying capacity; measurement may be weight-based or cubic-dimension based affecting freight calculations. Tonnage denotes a vessel's capacity for carrying freight or other loads, calculated in tons. Measurement approaches differ by jurisdiction: a weight-based method assesses the actual weight the vessel can safely carry, while a cubic-dimension method estimates carrying capacity from the hold's cubic dimensions. The term functions as a technical maritime measurement for cargo capacity and freight calculation.
