Dead weight Explanation: I believe you mean "Peso Muerto". But if what you want is "pesos muertos" you'd be talking weirdly about boxing "dead (heavy)weigths" for instance. Here goes my version: "The (Harbour) Terminal consists of a wharf with capacity to deal with ships of up to 130,000 dead weight tons". Hope it helps cheers :) Reference: http://www.paroscientific.com/dwtperform.htm Reference: http://www.rand.org/publications/classics/wohlstetter/DL1662... |

dead-weight Explanation: This is defined as the difference in the ship's displacement (in water) loaded and light. It's not actually the weight of the ship, but the weight/volume of water displaced. The Terminal consists of a quay with /a capacity/facilities/ for dealing with ships of up to 130,000 tonnes dead-weight Chambers Dic and Encyclopaedias |
