| How is the maximum shipbuilding capacity of a unit measured? | in terms of the maximum carrying capacity of the ship that can be built by a shipyard measured in terms of Dead Weight Tonnage (DWT) | 1. Ship building capacity of a unit is defined in terms of the maximum carrying capacity of the ship that can be built by a shipyard measured in terms of Dead Weight Tonnage (DWT) which is the number of tonnes (one tonne = 2240 pounds) of stores, fuel and cargo that a ship can carry. 1.
