In English, 'ton' and 'tonne' are both real units (the former of the US Customary system, the latter being a metric ton). The word 'tonn' is both incorrect and confusing; I'm not sure to which unit you are referring.

and a another one!

the weights are in metric tonnes, according to the Wärtsilä website.

Yes ace is correct. If I write tonnes then I mean tonnes noting else. I have and will always use the correct standard and that is the metric. I'm not stupid ..... Or are I!


erik_t if I draw Wärtsilä generators, a Scandinavian company. In Scandinavia we have always used the correct system and that is the metric system. every thing else is sooooo old-fashioned!!! hahaha

You clearly don't know anything of Scandinavian measurement standards.

Oh yeeaaaah!


I have always used metric, but I know some is using imperial. and Norway had they version of imperial/metric units, Denmark and Sweden to. I did see that often before when I was building traditional boats, we had to use Danish inches instead of Norwegians, but when we made a copy of a British lifeboat we used the British units from 1600/1700, So yeah I know about them. but I have never bean comfortable with these units.

Unless I boogered myself up with scrolling, the drawing originally said 'tonn'. I don't care which measurement we use as long as it's consistent and clear. Metric tons are just peachy.

[acelanceloet]

it said tonns, yes he fixed it
edit: but, on the point of measurements, we still learn to work with all diferent measurements because different countries use different standards. there is just no standardisation worldwide.

Found this on the photobucket from mitch. I thought lets share:
