dead weight tonnage
A measure for a ship's (here: a crude oil tanker's) loading capacity.
Specifically, I need to know whether 'dwt' is also used in German, or if there is a German technical term.

Frachttonnage
This is from Dluhy: Dictionary for Marine Technology.
For DWT it says "Tragfähigkeit in br. Tonnen (nach SI seit 1974 nicht mehr statthaft, unter bestimmten Bedingungen noch zulässig und im Gebrauch)".
Perhaps this helps.

The abbreviation "tdw" (tons deadweight) seems to be used much more frequently in German texts than "dtw" (I searched Google for Tragfähigkeit, Ladefähigkeit, and Gesamtzuladungsgewicht with both abbreviations)
