What does a ton register measure?

A ton register measures internal ship volume, defined as 100 cubic feet, historically used in maritime contexts to express gross or net register tonnage.

Is the gallon (UK) the same as the US gallon?

No, the gallon (UK) is defined as exactly 4.54609 litres, which is approximately 1.20095 US gallons, making it a larger volume unit.

Can I use this converter for modern ship tonnage measures?

This converter is specific to ton register units, which have been mostly replaced by modern gross or net tonnage measures defined in international conventions.
