Gross Tonnage (GT)

StarStarStarStar

Gross Tonnage represents the overall internal volume of a ship, not its weight. It is calculated by measuring all the enclosed spaces of a ship and using a formula established by the International Convention on Tonnage Measurement of Ships. Calculation: GT=KimesVGT = K imes V, where VV is the volume in cubic meters and KK is a variable figure based on the volume.

Net Tonnage (NT)

StarStarStarStar

Net Tonnage refers to the volume of revenue-earning spaces on a cruise ship, usually the spaces available for passengers and cargo. Calculation: Derived from the Gross Tonnage after subtracting the spaces not used for passengers or cargo.

Berth (or Bed) Capacity

StarStarStarStar

Berth capacity indicates the number of beds available for passengers aboard a ship. Calculation: Total number of beds (fixed and pullmans) available to passengers within cabins.

StarStarStarStar

Double Occupancy

StarStarStarStar

Double Occupancy is the standard measurement for passenger capacity assuming two passengers per cabin. Calculation: Total number of cabins multiplied by two.

StarStarStarStar

Maximum Capacity

StarStarStarStar

Maximum capacity is the highest number of passengers a ship can accommodate when all berths, including pullmans and sofa beds, are occupied. Calculation: Sum of all fixed beds, pullman beds, and convertible sofa beds.

Space Ratio

StarStarStarStar

Space Ratio is a measure of how much space per passenger is available on a ship, indicating the level of crowding. Calculation: SpaceRatio=GrossTonnageDoubleOccupancyCapacitySpace Ratio = \frac{Gross Tonnage}{Double Occupancy Capacity}.

Crew-to-Passenger Ratio

StarStarStarStar

Crew-to-Passenger Ratio gives an idea of the level of service on board, indicating how many crew members are available to serve each passenger. Calculation: CrewtoPassengerRatio=NumberofCrewMembersDoubleOccupancyCapacityCrew-to-Passenger Ratio = \frac{Number of Crew Members}{Double Occupancy Capacity}.

StarStarStarStar

Passenger Space Area (PSA)

StarStarStarStar

Passenger Space Area indicates the total public area available per passenger on the ship. Calculation: PSA=TotalPublicAreaDoubleOccupancyCapacityPSA = \frac{Total Public Area}{Double Occupancy Capacity}, where the Total Public Area includes dining rooms, lounges, and other public spaces.
