jeffmw Posted December 18, 2021 Report Share Posted December 18, 2021 I realize GRT isn't a straightforward calculation, but nonetheless it is still a calculation of volume, correct? Hoping someone can explain this to me: Odyssey: 1,138 ft. long & 135 ft. wide. 169,300 GRT Liberty: 1,112 ft long & 185 ft. wide. 154,407 GRT How is the Liberty only 2% shorter than the Odyssey but 37% wider and yet has a 9% lower GRT? Basically you have two ships of almost the exact same length but one is 1/3 larger yet has a lower GRT? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregD Posted December 18, 2021 Report Share Posted December 18, 2021 I found some different numbers, Liberty is 128ft wide, and odyssey is 160ft so that changes all of the calculations and make the GT numbers make sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokeybandit Posted December 18, 2021 Report Share Posted December 18, 2021 GRT and GT are different. GRT only measures the permanently enclosed areas for its calculation, but I assume you mean GT. GT has a modifier ratio multiplied by total volume. That modifier gets smaller the higher the volume is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
