• Key Concepts: 
  Deadweight is a term used in the shipping industry to refer to the total weight of a vessel, including cargo, fuel, crew, and other supplies. In the context of SAP's TM-ADP-CSL-NAO Network & Operations for Container Shipping Liners component, deadweight is used to calculate the maximum load capacity of a vessel. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In order to calculate the maximum load capacity of a vessel, users must first input the vessel's deadweight into the SAP system. This can be done by entering the vessel's gross tonnage (GT) and net tonnage (NT) into the system. Once these values are entered, the system will automatically calculate the vessel's deadweight. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When entering a vessel's GT and NT into the system, it is important to ensure that these values are accurate. If they are not accurate, then the calculated deadweight will also be inaccurate.
