- Dues for both the Panama and Suez canals are based on tonnages assigned to
- ships by the canal authority.
- The tonnages are roughly equivalent to the gross tonnages, ie. a measurement
- of volume rather than displacement. Any book on ship construction should
- carry an adequate explanation. Try Ship Construction by Taylor from Butter-
- worths.
