- spells out "XXX gross register tons" and introduces the abbreviation GRT on the first use in an article,
- links to gross register tonnage on the first use in an article,
- uses the abbreviation GRT on subsequent uses in the article, and
- inserts a between the number and the unit.
Note! For ships built on or after 18 July 1982, use {{GT}}.
