1. In maritime terms, the deadweight of a vessel is the maximum weight of the cargo, crew, stores and bunkers that it can carry when loaded so that it settles in the water to the Plimsoll line. This is also measurable by the weight of the water the vessel displaces when fully loaded less the displacement when it was unloaded. 2. Deadweight cargo is cargo of such high density that a long ton (2240 lbs.) of such cargo can be stowed in less than 70 cubic feet.

a common measure of ship carrying capacity or the number of tons of cargo, stores and bunkers that a vessel can transport. It is the difference between the number of tons of water a vessel displaces "light" and the number of tons it displaces "when submerged to the 'deep load line'." a vessel's cargo capacity is less than its total deadweight tonnage. The difference in weight between a vessel when it is fully loaded and when it is empty (in general transportation terms, the net) measured by the water it displaces. This is the most common, and useful, measurement for shipping as it measures cargo capacity.

Deadweight is defined as effects which would have arisen even if the intervention had not taken place. Deadweight usually arises as a result of inadequate delivery mechanisms which fail to target the intervention's intended beneficiaries sufficiently well. As a result, other individuals and groups who are not included in the target population end up as recipients of benefits produced by the intervention. Deadweight is really a special case of programme inefficiency. See also delivery mechanisms, efficiency, target population.
