tonnage jauge n. f.

Déf. :
Dans la marine et la navigation intérieure on appelle jauge à la fois la capacité totale ou partielle d'un bâtiment, et l'ensemble des règles qui servent à la détermination de cette capacité. Il faut distinguer : - la jauge brute qui est la capacité du navire obtenue en enlevant de sa capacité totale certains volumes appelés « exemptions » tels que la chambre de barre, la cuisine, les coursives, etc. - la jauge brute totale qui est la capacité de tous les espaces situés au-dessous du pont et des espaces clos situés au-dessus. - La jauge nette qui est la capacité du navire commercialement utilisable et sur laquelle sont fondées les taxes de port, de pilotage, etc. On l'obtient en retirant de la jauge brute les espaces appelés « déductions », magasins, logements de l'équipage, chambres des machines, etc. L'unité de jauge est le tonneau de cent pieds cubes britanniques ou tonneau de jauge qui vaut 2,83 m³.
Volume du navire (tonneaux).

I remve "gross" to take into account the fact that we have "jaugement" alone.

Explanation:
"Jauge" ou "jaugeage", mais pas "jaugement", je crois. En tout cas, il s'agit bien de "tonnage". Voir ci-dessous pour le type.
