About these units
Ton Register (ton reg)
A register ton, or ton register, is a unit of volume, not mass, equal to 100 cubic feet. It is used in maritime contexts to measure the internal capacity of ships—specifically cargo-carrying volume, not weight. Ship registries rely on register tons to calculate taxes, port fees, and cargo classifications. The unit dates back to 19th-century maritime law, where consistent volumetric measurement was critical for international shipping regulation. Despite changes in global trade and containerization, register tons remain important for historical vessel documentation, as well as for understanding older merchant and naval ship specifications.
Dekastere (dekastere)
The dekastere, equal to 10 steres or 10 cubic meters, is primarily used in forestry for measuring stacked firewood or lumber. In European countries like France, where the stere is still recognized, the dekastere is practical for describing commercial quantities of timber. Many forestry management plans and commercial firewood suppliers use the dekastere to track production and sales. Its size strikes a balance between comprehensibility and practicality, making it useful for both commercial and personal-scale timber transactions.
