What else to see:

Oceans and seas occupy most surface of our planet. To navigate them, humanity has been building various ships for many millennia, and some of them are truly gigantic in size. The most big ships in the world, as a rule, these are cargo ships, tankers or container ships. But among other types of ships in the world, there are those that deserve interest when it comes to the largest ship. Therefore, the following top 10 largest ships include ships that are relatively modest in size compared to tankers, but the largest in their class (military, passenger, sailing).

1. Prelude

Although this ship is not yet in operation, it already rightfully bears the title of the largest ship in the world. The dimensions of its hull, which was already launched in 2013, are amazing. The length of the vessel is 488 m and the width is 78 m. With such gigantic dimensions, the cargo ship has a displacement of 600,000 tons. This is not exactly a cargo ship, but the world's first floating platform designed for the extraction, liquefaction and subsequent transportation of natural gas. The giant is being built by order of Royal Dutch Shell by the South Korean corporation Samsung Heavy Industries.

Full completion of construction is planned for 2017. The floating leviathan, which produces and processes gas independently, cannot sail through the sea; tugs will be used for this. Place of future operation of the platform - western Australia, 295 km east of the city Broome. The cost of constructing the ship is $12 billion, and the estimated operational period is 25 years. The design of the vessel is designed to withstand the most powerful cyclones existing in nature; for this, it has three shunting engines with a power of 6700 hp. With. every. With their help, during storms the ship will turn to the required position. The capacity of the floating plant is 3,600,000 tons of liquefied gas per year.

2. Seawise Giant (Knock Nevis)

If the world's previous largest ship represents the future of shipbuilding, then this largest ship in history has already been taken out of service and cut up for scrap. A giant 458.5 m long and 69 m wide was built in 1976, its displacement was almost 565 thousand tons. Its colossal dimensions did not allow it to pass through the Panama and Suez Canals and even through the English Channel, because the tanker’s draft was under summer the load line was 24.6 m.

The maximum speed of the tanker due to its size was relatively small, 13 knots or 21.1 km/h, but even at the same time the stopping distance of the ship was 10.2 km, and the turning diameter of the vessel was 3.7 km. Initially, in 1976, the ship, built by the Japanese Sumitomo Heavy Industries (SHI), was named Oppama. Then its dimensions were more modest, length - 376.7 m, displacement - 418.6 thousand tons. Later, the new owner of the ship, the Orient Overseas Line company from Hong Kong, ordered the reconstruction of the ship, a cylindrical insert was added to it, and the ship acquired its final record sizes. In 1981, the ship was named Seawise Giant and began sailing the ocean under the Liberian flag transporting crude oil.

In 1986, during the Iran-Iraq conflict, the tanker ran aground due to damage from an anti-ship missile. After the war, she was bought and restored by the Norwegian Norman International, and the ship was renamed Happy Giant. Even before commissioning in 1991, it was again resold to the Norwegian shipping company Loki Stream AS, so when the ship left the Singapore shipyard, it received another new name, Jahre Viking. Last name was Knock Nevis tanker received in 2004 after its purchase by the Norwegian company First Olsen Tankers Pte, from this year it was anchored and it ceased to be a transport vessel. The giant made its last voyage in 2009 to the shores of India, where it was disposed of in 2010. One of his 36-ton anchors can be seen today in the Hong Kong Maritime Museum.

It is currently the longest operational vessel in the world. This container ship is 397 m long and is one of 8 E-Class vessels built by the Moller-Maersk Group. The ship's displacement is 157 thousand tons, it was launched in 2006. Its main purpose is to transport goods between Southeast Asia and Northern Europe via the Suez and Gibraltar Canals.

The vessel is capable of transporting up to 11 thousand standard 20-foot containers (with cargo), its carrying capacity is 123 thousand tons. The power of its huge diesel plant is 109 thousand liters. s, and its mass is 2300 tons, thanks to it the ship can move across the ocean at a speed of 25.5 knots. On average, a large commercial vessel travels a distance of just over 300 thousand km per year.

Today, ships of this series are the largest ships in operation in terms of displacement, which is 441.6 thousand tons. They have a double hull, which is dictated by modern environmental requirements for ships transporting liquid cargo hazardous to the environment. A total of 4 ships of this series were built, 2 of which, TI Europe and TI Oceania, sail on the ocean, and 2 were turned into floating platforms to support the operation of the field near Qatar. The length of the vessels is 380 m.

5. Vale ore carriers

These are the largest dry cargo ships in operation today. Displacement of the most large ships this series reaches 400 thousand tons, and the length is 362 m. All vessels of the Vale family are owned by the Brazilian mining corporation of the same name. They are mainly used to transport iron ore to the United States from Brazilian deposits.

Today, the fleet of super-ore carriers consists of 31 ships with a displacement of 380 to 400 thousand tons. The four largest vessels were recently chartered to China's largest dry cargo fleet operator COSCO for 25 years. The advantage of Vale ships is considered to be low consumption of diesel fuel and low carbon dioxide emissions per ton of ore, when compared with conventional ore carriers with a displacement of up to 200 thousand tons.

This is the biggest passenger ship, its length is 362 m, and its displacement is 19.8 thousand tons. It has a twin vessel - cruise ship Oasis in the Seas, which is 50mm shorter. Allure of the Seas was launched as recently as 2008. The cruise ship has a crew of 2,100 people and a maximum passenger capacity of 6,400 people. On board the ship there is:

Enterprise entered service in 1961. Initially, it was planned to build 5 ships of this type, but due to the enormous cost ($451 million) and a number of other reasons, the largest warships of this modification were decided not to be replicated. In 2012, the aircraft carrier completed its last 8-month sea cruise. The ship's crew was 3,000 people, the number of aviation personnel was 1,800 people, and the aircraft carrier could accommodate up to 90 airplanes and helicopters.

If we talk about huge military vessels, then Russia also has its own large aircraft carrier - this is the heavy aircraft-carrying cruiser Admiral of the Fleet Soviet Union Kuznetsov. Its length is 306 m and its width is 72 meters. If we talk about the active fleet, then in its size it is currently second only to Nimitz-class aircraft carriers, their length is almost 333 m.

This is the largest steamship ever built. Its length was 211 m, and its displacement was 22.5 thousand tons. The ship was launched in 1857. From the very beginning of its operation, its notoriety was firmly established; what other ship, except one haunted by misfortunes, could in just two years:

• cause the death of several dozen workers during launching;
• damaged due to a steam engine explosion during the first passage;
• run into a rock.

The ship's crew was 418 people, and its passenger capacity was 4,000 people. The steamship was propelled by two paddle wheels powered by a 3650 hp steam engine. With. and a 4-blade propeller powered by a 4000 hp steam engine. With. In addition, the ship could sail through the sea under sails attached to 6 masts.

9. Project 941 Akula submarines

These are the largest submarines of our time. The length of submarines of this series is almost 173 m, and the underwater displacement is 48 thousand tons. Their colossal dimensions, first of all, were determined by the dimensions of the main weapons - intercontinental solid fuel three-stage ballistic missiles.

The underwater vessel is driven by two pressurized water nuclear reactors with a capacity of 190 MW each (shaft power 2×50 thousand hp) and two steam turbine units. In addition, the ship has two backup DC electric motors and a thruster device consisting of two folding columns driven by electric motors. The submarine's crew is 160 people.

This five-masted barque, launched by the French in 1912, is the largest sailing ship in history, its length was 146.2 m, and its displacement was 10.7 thousand tons. The ship was used to transport goods (wool, ore, coal) around the world. In 1922, near New Caledonia, the ship hit a reef and was abandoned by its owners. In 1944, during the bombing, it was destroyed.

Any ship presented in our TOP 10 largest ships can be called a creation of engineering thought. Of course, gigantic dimensions are not the goal for which these ships were designed and built. The size of the ships is determined, first of all, by the tasks that huge ships had to solve or are solving.

Which ship is the largest in the world today? First of all, the name “Titanic” comes to mind. Undoubtedly, the Titanic is one of the most famous ships in the world.

More than 260 thousand tons of steel were used in its construction. During its operation, it will weigh more than 600 thousand tons, which is more than five times heavier than the weight of the largest aircraft carrier.

Since ancient times, large water has attracted man, arousing his interest and desire to conquer its vastness. So first the boats appeared, and then the ships. With each century, their size, power and capabilities have only increased and now the vessels are truly impressive with their dimensions. We combined into one top largest ships in the world, so that you can also see them and appreciate the scale from the photo.

10. The list opens with the largest sailing ship in the world and it is “France II”, which, unfortunately, has not survived to this day. Created in 1911, it was 127 meters long and had a steel hull, which did not help it when it crashed. In 1922, France II sank in the waters Pacific Ocean.

Children aged 18-36 months will be sent to the Aquababies group. The program will help your child explore the outside world through educational games and techniques.

Girls and boys from 3 to 5 years old need to study in the Aquanauts group. The program is designed for music lessons, children's role-playing games, masquerades and carnivals.

From 6 to 8 years old, young inventors will attend the Explorers group. The program is aimed at developing talents, holding various competitions and tournaments.

9-11 year old children will become Sailors. Evening film screenings, karaoke, and a fabulous ball with sweets, ice cream and pizza await them.

Children from 12 to 14 years old will be included in the Navigators group. This is a program where most of the time children play in the pool and living room under the supervision of responsible leaders.

Teenagers from 15 to 17 years old will join the Teenagers group. Boys and girls will have lunch with peers, play interactive games, have themed evenings, and have fun at the disco. Moreover, parents are not allowed to attend dances, and teenagers may distance themselves a little from parental care.

Incidents on the liner

Many tourists and passengers are interested in whether there were any unpleasant incidents that you need to know about in advance before purchasing a cruise ticket. There was only one incident: in 2012, a small fire started in the engine room, which was immediately eliminated. The ship's automated fire-fighting system dealt with the flames. No one was injured due to the fire, and the ship continued along its intended route.

Anyone who decides to visit the “Charm of the Seas” deck will never forget such beauty and variety of shops, restaurants, and places to relax. The ship is like a separate republic, surrounded by seas and oceans, there are no problems or worries. This is peace and reconnection with yourself.
