Some aspects seem a bit problematic for use with ships, on the assumption that you're really talking about buying and selling ships (like tankers or container ships). The Wikipedia article on "Tonnage" describes some of measurements you're likely to see actually given for ships (different ones for different kinds of ships, e.g., deadweight for tankers, displacement for warships). The article on ship measurements at http://en.citizendium.org/wiki/Ship_measurements is also useful (e.g., I don't see "draft" in the VSO ontology; pretty important for ships). But who said semantics was supposed to be simple? Good start anyway.
