number 10 blue marlin it does not seem to be possible for a ship to transport
cargo of 75,000 tons and only one voyage however blue marlin a cargo ship owned
by the company dock wise can transport oil platforms aircraft carriers and even
other cargo ships through the seas on the planet the big size of the ship is
impressive it is 225 metres long 47 meters in depth and its main deck is
equal to the size of two soccer fields to start this massive ship multiple
diesel engines of 70,000 horse are needed to cross the seas at a speed of
13 knots this ship has been used to transport cargo of very heavy weight
including transporting the military vessels such as USS Cole and an
Australian aircraft carrier this isn't even close to the biggest cargo that
blue marlin has transported though this ship was employed to transport the
biggest offshore oil platform in the world from Korea to the Gulf of Mexico
number 9 Vanguard this ship was built in the yantai Korean
shipyards and it's the biggest heavy lift ship in the world it's even larger
than the ship blue marlin as it has an overall length of 275 meters and a beam
of almost 80 ships diesel propulsion plant provides 27 megawatts of power for
smooth and flexible operations and ships electric plant has two diesel generators
with six in-line cylinders that can produce 4,000 350 kilowatts to
12-cylinder V diesel generators with the capacity to generate 8700 kilowatts and
one diesel generator that can produce 1,200 kilowatts to be able to transport
such heavy cargo both ships blue marlin and vanguard have a special feature they
can submerge 13 meters in the water filling their tanks with water which
allows them to carry other ships or floating structures when the cargo is on
the deck the ship's tanks empty and their decks are raised back over the
water surface
number eight Nimitz these ships are the best aircraft
carriers which have a full load displacement of over 97 thousand tons
and are the largest warships of their kind in the world
the first ship Nimitz was deployed in 1975 while the tenth ship and the last
of this class named George HW Bush was commissioned in 2009 this kind of
aircraft carrier has a service life of over 50 years and they required just one
midlife overhaul this super aircraft carrier with an overall length of 330
2.8 meters and a beam of 77 meters has a 4.5 acre flight deck and they can carry
90 fighter planes these ships tower 20 stories above the water and can
accommodate 3,000 to 3,250 aircrew members and another 500 people
who are in charge of operating these war Giants number Seven's Oasis of the Seas
a company Royal Caribbean hired more than 500 naval engineers to construct
this massive cruise ship in just three years this ship also combines luxury and
comfort for tourists it has small scale ship models stairs elevators mirrors and
an incredible collection of works of art with more than 7,000 paintings by
international artists this ship is 17 floors high 361 meters long and weighs
more than 225,000 tons hence it can accommodate around 6300 passengers
without including the 2160 crew Oasis of the Seas is also provided with the
latest technology remarkable engineering developments and naval construction this
ship can purify its water and can retract its funnels when going under
bridges during construction 25,000 square meters of steel 5,000 kilometers
of cable and 600,000 litres of paint was needed to build it this ship is a real
giant of the Seas it's equipped with 2,700 exclusive
suites energy generators fresh water and sewage plants an outdoor amphitheater at
the stern a swimming pool with the water wave simulator and walls made of
artificial rocks to practice rock climbing number
six cscl globe in December 2014 the ship's CSCL globe with a capacity to
transport in nineteen thousand one hundred standard sized containers owned
by the company China shipping container lines became the largest container ship
in the world this mega ship is as large as four soccer fields of 100 meters each
the ship owner company has declared that this massive ship has an overall length
of 400 meters and a beam of 60 meters this huge cargo ship which the company
ordered from South Korean shipyards can carry nineteen thousand one hundred
standard sized containers and if you put all the containers in a stacked up
manner they could form a container Mountain five times higher than Mount
Everest likewise this container ship can transport 200 million electronic tablets
in only one voyage number five cma cgm this massive ship which has an overall
length of 396 meters a beam of 54 meters and a draught of 16 meters was
considered as one of the largest container ships around the world but
nowadays its own and company also has other bigger container ships and other
important shipping companies keep developing and launching massive ships
to navigate the oceans the company owning this giant ship that can
transport sixteen thousand containers is implementing cutting-edge technology and
bigger equipment to follow the current trend in the shipping industry number
four MSC Oscar there is a tough race among the
container ship manufacturers to get the honorable title for the biggest
container ship in the world the previous ship CSCL globe was the biggest
container ship in the world for only two months as of January 14 2015 the ship
MSC Oscar was launched shockingly this ship is 5 metres shorter than CSCL globe
even after it beats the CSCL globe because it is slightly better regarding
cargo capacity which can transport 19 thousand 224 containers it has a total
deadweight tonnage of 197 thousand three hundred sixty two dwt and double hull to
give extra resistance during the worst two meteorological conditions even if it
is fully loaded the ship's superstructure is located at the center
of the ship's overall length moreover it has space to accommodate 30 people the
propulsion plant of the ship can generate 16 megawatts of power and move
the 10 meter propeller with 5 blades that makes the ship navigate at a speed
of 22 point 8 knots with an operating range of more than 42 kilometers number
3 Emma Maersk the Emma Maersk was the first ship of the Merce class as well as
the biggest container ship in the world in 2006 when it was launched the
engineers of the company Maersk built a total of eight ships of this class in
Denmark shipyards exclusively for a client during the period of 2006 to 2008
this kind of ship has a deadweight tonnage of 160,000 DWT and over a length
of 397 point 71 meters and a beam of 57 meters they can also transport fourteen
thousand 770 containers these container ships are propelled by a fourteen
cylinder engine that can generate a continuous power over 80,000 kilowatts
at 102 RPM which allows the ship to reach service speeds of twenty five
point three knots which is the equivalent of 50 kilometers per hour on
land
number two molar musk this huge ship is currently the second largest container
ship in the world it has a cargo capacity of 18,000 270 containers this
kind of ship has a deadweight tonnage of 165 thousand dwt an overall length of
399 meters a beam of 59 meters and a draft of 14.5 meters there are 20 ships
of this class navigating the oceans on the planet these big colossal structures
are propelled by an integrated system with two engines of 30,000 kilowatts
each and two propellers the heat recovery system of the ship saves
approximately 10% of energy consumption by the main engine it is also known that
this kind of ship lowers carbon dioxide emissions per container by 20% in
comparison with former container ships number one pre lude FLNG the company
shell collaborated with Technip and samsung and announced it's the last
project pre lude actually they wanted to build the biggest floating object in the
world this ship is designed to extract 110,000 oil barrels daily it's being
built with more than 260 thousand metric tons of steel which is approximately
four times more steel than the one needed to build the Golden Gate Bridge
in San Francisco ship Prelude is 488 metres long 74 metres wide and it weighs
600 thousand tons it's designed in such a way that is prepared for bad
meteorological conditions and it will be able to process and keep the value of
the extracted natural gas moreover this ship is propelled by engines of six
thousand seven hundred horsepower and can even withstand category 5 hurricanes
this facility will allow the exploration of new energy sources offshore and will
be processing around 3.6 million tonnes of liquefied natural gas per year aiming
to be prepared for the futures growing demands
