Tonnage is a measure of the cargo-carrying capacity of a ship . The term derives from the taxation paid on tuns or casks of wine . In modern maritime usage , tonnage specifically refers to a calculation of the volume or cargo volume of a ship . Tonnage should not be confused with displacement , which refers to the actual weight of the vessel . Tonnage is commonly used to assess fees on commercial shipping .

Throughout the history of the program , nearly 63,000 undergraduate students from more than 1,500 colleges and universities have participated in Semester at Sea . During the spring and fall semesters , the approximately 100- 110 day program circumnavigates the globe , with up to 600 undergraduates traveling from North America heading either east across the Atlantic or west across the Pacific , visiting from 10 to 11 countries in Asia , Africa , Europe , South America and North America . The program previously had voyages that would sail through the Mediterranean and the Suez Canal , but due to piracy concerns in the Gulf of Aden , voyages now typically travel around Africa . For many years , ISE hosted a shorter 65-day Semester at Sea program in the summer that concentrated on one general region of the world . In May 2011 , Semester at Sea introduced a new short-term or Maymester voyage with a curriculum focused on the UN Millennium Development Goals . These voyages lasted 26 days and offered students the opportunity to earn 4-5 transferable credits . However , following the Maymester 2012 voyage , Semester at Sea made the decision to cancel Short-Term voyages indefinitely due to low enrollment . Additionally , a two-week Enrichment Voyage program was previously held for continuing education participants during December and January . Itineraries for these voyages focused on Central America and South America , often transiting the Panama Canal or traveling up the Amazon River . ISE currently offers only fall and spring voyages .
