British Shipping and the Long Ton
The long ton (2,240 lbs) was the standard unit in British commercial shipping until metrication in the 1970s-1980s. Lloyd's Register of Shipping, insurance certificates, and cargo manifests from before this period use long tons. Researchers and insurers interpreting historical records must convert to modern kg or metric ton equivalents for comparison.

While largely replaced by the metric ton in international trade, the long ton persists in some UK industries: petroleum (especially older contracts), iron and steel (traditional pricing), and some Commonwealth agricultural commodities. The UK officially metricated in 1985 for trade purposes, but legacy contracts and pricing references still occasionally use long tons.
