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.

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.
