International Convention on Tonnage Measurement of Ships 1969
Year: 2016 Language: english Author: IMO Genre: Convention (rules) Publisher: IMO ISBN: 978-92-801-1090-6 Format: PDF Quality: Scanned pages Pages count: 31 Description: The Convention, adopted by IMO in 1969, was the first successful attempt to introduce a universal tonnage measurement system. Previously, various systems were used to calculate the tonnage of merchant ships. Although all went back to the method devised by George Moorsom of the British Board of Trade in 1854, there were considerable differences between them and it was recognized that there was a great need for one single international system. The Convention provides for gross and net tonnages, both of which are calculated independently. The rules apply to all ships built on or after 18 July 1982 - the date of entry into force - while ships built before that date were allowed to retain their existing tonnage for 12 years after entry into force, or until 18 July 1994. This phase-in period was intended to ensure that ships were given reasonable economic safeguards, since port and other dues are charged according to ship tonnage. At the same time, and as far as possible, the Convention was drafted to ensure that gross and net tonnages calculated under the new system did not differ too greatly from those calculated under previous methods. Additional info: Convention with Supplement of January 2016. Correction is indicated in red at the initial text.
