The biggest ship in the world. The largest aircraft carrier

Since ancient times, people have wandered around the seas, gradually improving their trial. Modern shipbuilding is very developed, and the range of vessels has become unusually diverse. But always pays special attention to the top of the biggest ships in the world, which will be discussed below.

1. SEAWISE GIANT (Knock Nevis)

Deadweight - 564 700 tons.
. Length - 458.5 m.
. Year of construction - 1979.
. Last Country Registration: Sierra Leone. Disassembled on scrap metal.

The largest ship in the world until 2010 was the Knock Nevis SuperTanker, built in 1975 in the Japanese city of Yokosuka. Before changing several names, he had a simple number 1016. But the cyclopic dimensions of it actually and thoroughly - the tanker could not go through Panamansky, neither by the Suez Channel, even in La Manche, would be stranded, so it would move from the ocean to the ocean He could only be a steep way.
During the Iranian Iraq war of 1988, Iraqi rocket fell into it and seriously damaged. As a result, the supertanker sank in the Persian Gulf not far from the coast. After the end of the conflict, he was raised from the bottom and took off to Singapore, where they could restore in 1991, giving him a new "optimistic" name "Happy giant". But as a tanker he was not needed to anyone, therefore he began to serve as a floating petroleum. Finally, in 2009, "Lucky" was sent to the last path to the Indian shores, where the next year it was cut on scrap metal.

2. Pierre Guillaumat.

Deadweight - 555 000 tons.
. Length - 414.2 m.
. Year of construction - 1977.
. Last registration country: France. Cut on scrap metal.

In the family of ships twins of the Batillus series, this supertanker is the largest on the deadweight. He was built on the French shipyards, worked with everything - 5 years, after which he was ruthlessly sent in 1983 to South Korea, where turned into scrap metal. The rest of his counterparts from the same series divided his fate. The reasons for such an inglorious death in all cases were the same problems with the impossibility of passing through the Suez and Panaman channels.

3. Esso atlantic

Deadweight - 516 900 tons.
. Length - 406.5 m.
. Year of construction - 1977.
. Last registration country: Liberia. Cut on scrap metal.

At one time, this oil superdanker was also a champion in Deadweight. He was built in Japan, and his first commercial route made from African Liberia, where the Esso Tankers owner company registered it under the Liberian flag. Most often, the tanker transported oil from the countries of the Middle East to Europe. But in 2002 it was an end and he - in Pakistan it was cut on scrap metal. He had almost a twin ship "Esso Pacific", but despite the "Pacific" name, he was less than the Atlantic Brother.

4. Emma Maersk.

Deadweight - 156 900 tons.
. Length - 397 m.
. Year of construction - 2006.
. Last Registration Country: Denmark. Until now is exploited.

This is the first eight of the eight of identical container shipments of the E-class series, built by the Danish Holding "Moller-Maersk Group". At the time of its first flight in 2006, he was the world's largest floating ship. "Emma Maersk" transports a variety of cargo between Asia and America, following the Suez Canal and Gibraltar Strait.
This ship is not too successful - when its construction has already ended, a fire broke out on the upper deck, which seriously damaged a new ship. It took repair, which was quick and was made. In 2013, a new attack happened - in the midst of the Suez Canal, one of the power plants of the dry car was broken, as a result of which he lost control. Fortunately, the ship and the canal remained well.
Europeans do not complain the giant for the use of rich gray fuel. Like many giant vessels, Emma does not fit into the Panaman Canal, so the Pacific Ocean is closed for her (not around Cape Mountain go there!).

5. Ti Class

Deadweight - 441 600 tons.
. Length - 380 m.
. Year of construction - 2003.
. Last country of registration: Belgium. Until now is exploited.

This vessel with a double body had the largest deadlute and gross lifting capacity at one time. Four completely identical vessels were built: two "Ti Africa" \u200b\u200band "Ti Oceania" under the flag of the Marshall Islands, Ti Europe under the Belgian flag and Ti Asia. But in 2010, the "Asia" and "Africa" \u200b\u200bmade floating platforms-terminals for storing and shipping petroleum products, since then they work on joke near one of the Qatari offshore oil fields.

Finger and imagine the future of the future: there are no tanks and automata, and the opponents fire each other from the electromagnetic guns of the equipment ...

6. Vale Sohar.

Deadweight - 400 300 tons.
. Length - 362 m.
. Year of construction - 2012.
. Last country of registration: Marshall Islands. Until now is exploited.

This vessel from the family of the largest cargo drives is the property of the Mining company "Vale" from Brazil. It transports the mines in Brazil in the United States. In total, this route runs 40 huge dry cargoers, the deadweight of which is within 380-400 thousand tons. SOHAR is the largest vessel among them.

7. Allure of the seas

Deadweight - 19,750 tons
. Length - 362 m.
. Year of construction - 2008.
. Last Country of Registration: Bahamas. Until now is exploited.

This is a vessel from the class of cruise ships "Oasis", consisting of two twins (the second "Oasis In The Seas"), which lead the place for its type of ships in the world. It is said that "Allure" is still 5 cm longer than "oasis" therefore it is presented here. This giant is able to take on its board 6296 passengers and 2384 crew members. The species offered on board the entertainment are not reading, in this floating city there is a golf course and an ice rink, a bunch of bars and shops, there is even a park with exotic plants.

8. Queen Mary II

Deadweight - 19,200 tons.
. Length - 345 m.
. Year of construction - 2002.
. Last country of registration: Bermuda Islands. Until now is exploited.

This transatlantic cruise handsome ship is one of the world's largest passenger liners. It is capable of sending to the new light or back 2620 passengers with maximum comfort. It was designed and built by the French company Chantiers del "Atlantique". On its board there is a theater, a casino, 15 restaurants and the only planetarium on ships.

9. Mozah

Deadweight - 128 900 tons.
. Length - 345 m.
. Year of construction - 2007.
. Last Country Registration: Qatar. Until now is exploited.

This vessel opens a new family of Q-MAX series tankers, which specialize in the transport of liquefied natural gas, mined at the deposits near the banks of Qatar. It was designed and built in South Korea. In total, 14 tankers from this series are now operated.

10. USS ENTERPRISE (CVN-65)

Length - 342 m.
. Year of construction - 1960.
. Last registration country: USA. The aircraft carrier is written off.

This is the largest American atomic shock aircraft carrier, the first on which the nuclear power plant operates. He began to act in 1961. A series of six similar bulvisins was planned, but only "Enterprise" was built. Its cost poured into an incredible 451 million of those hundreds of dollars, so such expenses were not affordable even to the US bottomless budget. The length is the biggest combat ship in the world. By refueling once with nuclear fuel, the aircraft carrier acquired autonomy by 13 years of active service and could go through a million marine miles during this time. In February 2017, Enterprise was sent to a honorable retirement - for the American fleet, these were the first aircraft carriers.

The theme of our today's conversation will be rating of the biggest ships. Many of them have long turned into scrap metal, some are museum exhibits, but some fully function and today, representing not just a vessel, but the real "cities on the water", where there is everything that can be needed to be a comfortable pastime.

10 Mozah

The length of the giant tanker called Mozah is 345 meters, and its tonnage is almost 129 thousand tons (if it is extremely accurate, then 128900 tons). This is the first in the history of shipbuilding a representative of large-sized tankers of the "family" Q-MAX, the main purpose of which is the transportation of a liquefied gas produced in the Qatari deposits. The authors of the ship construction project are experts from South Korea, Mozah and built there. For the first time, it was descended for water 10 years ago (in 2007), the tanker successfully copes with the fulfillment of its functions, and in total in the world 14 such ships are functioning.

9

The length of this vessel, which occupies the ninth line in the top ten largest ships in the world, is 345 m, and its load capacity is 19189 tons. The chic liner, who received the "name" Queen Mary II, furrows water stroits under the banner of the Bermuda Islands. The ship was designed in Chantiers De L'Atlantique (France), and on the water for the first time in 2002. The ship is capable of transporting 2620 people, it has everything that can be needed to be a comfortable stay, and even more. What is worth the presence on board your own theater, a huge casino, a half dozen restaurants and a floating planetaria!

8 Allure of the seas

A huge cruise liner in the sea was launched in 2008. Its length is 362 m, and tonnage - 19750 tons. Maritime vessels of this class in the world are represented by two twin ships: Allure of the seas, as well as Oasis in the seas. However, the length of the first half the meter exceeds the length of the second.

Designed "Allure" on 6296 guests and 2384 crew members. This is the biggest cruise liner in the world. Listed all the advantages of the vessel in detail there is no point in any meaning - it is a sorting floating city, on board which there is not only comfortable cabins, pleasure zones, numerous cafes, restaurants, other pleasure places, shops, but even a huge park with wonderful plants. Sailing liner under the flag of bugs.

7 Vale Brasil.

He entered the top 10 largest ships of the world and gigantic dry cargo ship. Its length is 362 m, and the maximum load capacity is 400315 tons. The owner of Vale is a famous company from Brazil engaged in mining. Sailing vessel under state symbols of Marshall Islands. For the first time, it was launched in 2012 in 2012. The ship transports the ore to the United States of America.

6

This is a special ship consisting of two platforms. There are only four of them on the whole globe. The main distinguishing feature of such vessels is characterized by a huge cargo. In length, such two-bedroom ships reach 380 m, their carrying capacity - 441585 t. On the water, all 4 vehicles are connected in 2003. Now two of them are exploited, and two are used as floating platforms, and ionia are engaged in shipment and overexpose of oil near Qatari deposits.

5

At the 5th position in the list of the largest maritime ships in the world - the Danish ship in 397 m long and with a carrying capacity in 156907 t. It belongs to the E-class and is one of the 8 similar marine vehicles. It was launched on the water in 2006, and since then Emma Maersk runs between Asia and Northern Europe, engaged in transportation of goods.

The ship pursues a bad, even a few mystical glory. During construction, a major fire happened on board, which, however, managed to put out, and in 2013, passing the Suez Canal, because of a serious breakdown, the ship lost controllability and almost went to the bottom. The ship swims on sulfur fuel, which is why it is often criticized, especially in European countries.

4

Operated in 1977, the oil tanker was once the largest freight ship worldwide. Now he is on the 4th stage. Tanker load capacity - 516891 tons, length - more than 406 minutes. From the moment of registration and before the write-off, I went under the Liberian flag, engaged in transportation of oil between Middle Eastern states and Europe. Today, the operation of the vessel is completed, it was dismantled with scrap metal.

3

The third place among the biggest marine tankers got a ship, which was operated for 5 years - from 1977 to 1983. The vessel went under the French flag and belonged to the Batillus family. The length of Pierre Guillaumat reached 414 with a small meter with a load capacity of 555051 tons. So short service life of the ship is explained by its impracticality: due to the large-sized tanker, it could not overcome the main water channels.

2

The old, already written off the tanker until recently wore the proud title of the most huge in the world. It was operated from 1979 to 2009. The ship was swimming under documents of Sierra Leone, and because of the maximum length (258.5 meters), it was equal to the highest designs in the world.

Because of the high load capacity (564763 tons) and unprecedented dimensions, the supertanker could not squeeze the main channels. During the war, a rocket hit the ship between Iraq and Iran, it was dismissed, but in 1991, the tanker in Singapore managed to completely restore, and he again began to carry the cargo, but already called Happy Giant.

When it comes to big ships, "Titanic" comes first to mind. It certainly can be attributed to the category of the most famous ships, victims of a wreck on the very first flight. But there are other huge vessels, about which most people did not even hear. We offer to get acquainted with the largest courts in the history of shipbuilding, some of them are still furious oceans, and some have long come to the layer. The list is based on the length of the vessel, its gross lifting capacity and gross tonnage.

10. Ti class SuperTanker

The Oceania SuperTanker class Ti is one of the most beautiful vessels intended for oil transportation. There are four such supertankers in the world. Gross lifting capacity of Oceania 440 thousand tons with the possibility of developing speed up to 16-18 knots. The length of the vessel is 380 meters.

9. Berge Emperor.

Berge Emperor was the largest tanker intended for transporting oil issued by Mitsui in 1975, and one of the largest tankers in the world. The weight of the vessel is 211360 tons. The first owner was Bergesen D.Y. & Co, but then in 1985 tanker sold Maastow BV, where he received a new name. He served there just a year, and then he was sent to scrap.

8. CMA CGM Alexander von Humboldt

Named in honor of Alexander von Humboldt The ship CMA CGM is a container vessel of the Explorer class. It was the largest container ship in the world, until the Maersk Triple class E appears. Its length is 396 meters. Gross lifting capacity is 187624 tons.

7. Emma Maersk.

In the list of the biggest ships, Emma Maersk ranks second among the vessels in the ranks still. This is the first container ship class E of eight, belonging to A. P. Moller-Maersk Group. It was launched on the water in 2006. The vessel is capable of about 11 thousand DFE. Its length is 397.71 meters.

6. Maersk MC-KINNEY MOLLER

Maersk MC-Kinney Moller is the leading container ship class E. He has the greatest lifting capacity in the world, and besides, this is the longest ship for 2013. Its length is 399 meters. The maximum speed is 23 nodes with a lifting capacity of 18270 DEE. Built it for Maersk on South Korean Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering Plant.

5. Esso atlantic

ESSO Atlantic is one of the most popular names in the history of large ships. A huge ship with a length of 406.577meters is distinguished by incredible gross lifting capacity - 516891 tons. It served 35 years mostly as a tanker for transporting oil, and in 2002 he was passed on scrap in Pakistan.

4. Batillus.

Batillus - SuperTanker built by Chantiers De L'Atlantique for French Branch Shell Oil. His gross lifting capacity is 554 thousand tons, speed 16-17 nodes, length 414.22 meters. This is the fourth size vessel in the world. The last flight it performed in December 1985.

3. Pierre Guillaumat.

The third largest ship is named after the French policy, the founder of the oil company ELF Aquitaine Pierre Gioma. Built it in 1977 in Chantiers de L'Atlantique for Nationale de Navigation. The vessel was served for six years, and then he was sent to scrap due to incredible unprofitability. Because of the huge sizes, its use was strongly limited. It could not go through Panama, nor through the Suez Channels. Yes, and far from all ports could log in. Gross lifting capacity was almost 555 thousand tons, speed 16 nodes, length 414.22 meters.

2. SeaWise Giant.

The Mont SuperTanker was known under different names, he was called the queen of oceans and rivers. Built the ship in 1979 on the Japanese shipyards of Sumitomo Heavy Industries, Ltd. During the Iranian Iraq war, it suffered greatly, and it was flooded, because they considered inceptively repairs. But later, it was raised and repaired, calling Happy Giant. In December 2009 it made his last flight. At that time, it was the largest ship in the world, but the title of the biggest tanker was still preserved.

1. Prelude FLNG.

Prelude is the largest vessel used in the world, built in 2013 in South Korea. Its length is 488 meters, width of 78 meters. It is intended for transporting liquefied natural gas. It took 260 thousand tons of steel for its construction, and with full loading weight exceeds 600 thousand tons.

When we talk about ships, then in the first place, Titanic comes to mind. However, few people know that there are still big ships in the world. Unfortunately, in our time, half of them were disassembled. So you can only see them in the picture. The rest are still furious expanses of the oceans and the seas. As for key sizing, they were considered at the maximum length of the vessel.

The first place went to the vessel with this name. Yes, and the floating platform itself was the first in the world. People used it for both transportation and liquefaction and natural gas mining on board itself. This wonderful and huge model is engaged in Samsung Hevi Industries. Apparently, Samsong has already tired of creating phones and televisions. It's time to invent masterpieces. Nowadays, the ship is considered the largest in the world. With regard to the end of the construction of all components, it will come to the end in 2017. At the same time, the company wants to make the seabed drilling near the banks of Australia.

The deadweight of this car is 564763 tons. So she rightfully takes second place. The ship went down in 1979. In those days, he was considered so big that his length people were compared with the highest buildings in the world. The ship was not able to fit not only in the Panaman Canal, but also in Suez. In 1988 there was an Iranian Iraq war. Then the ship strongly damaged the rocket of the Iraqi Air Force. At that second, the ship transported Iranian oil in the Persian Gulf.

3.

This deadweight is considered to be today the largest. Its construction was engaged in a French firm. It was spent on the construction of only five years, and after, the ship was dismantled with scrap metal in South Korea in 1983. In 1977, the ship was lowered. Its length was 414.2 meters, and Deadweight - 555051 tons. As for the small life of the tanker, his commercial utility was minimal. The vessel of everything on everything was not able to go through Panaman and Suez Channels.

4.

The ship received a fourth place due to its length of 406.5 meters. Its Deadweight is 516891 tons. The vessel was launched in 1977. Despite the fact that it was built in Japan, his first swimming on direct appointment made a design from Liberia. The tanker, as a rule, was engaged in transportation of oil between the countries of the Middle East and Europe. It was dismantled with scrap metal in 2002 in Pakistan.

What is noteworthy this ship? The Danish company decided to make the first of the 8 identical container vessels of the E-Class series. Nowadays, the ship is considered the only existing among all giants. It was launched on the water in 2006. The vessel transports different goods between Northern Europe and Asia in Gibraltar Strait and Suez Channel. Despite its impressive sizes, the ship managed to gain bad fame. When it was built, there was a big fire, but in 2013 due to damage to the same engine, the design lost controllability in the Suez Channel. There was no flooding then.

The deadweight of this design is 441585 tons. The length is 380 meters. Ships with a double case in our time are considered the largest, which operate worldwide on gross trucks and deadweight. A total of 4 identical vessels were commissioned.

This type of ship can be attributed to the family of the biggest dry cargoers. They, in turn, belong to the Brazilian mining company Vale. The design was made to transport ore to America from Brazil. The length of the ship is 362 meters, and the deadweight is 400315 tons. A total of 30 such ships were made with a deadweight, which ranged from 380 to 400 thousand tons.

Two twin vessels have an oasis cruise ships class. They are considered the most large representatives of their type in the world. But if you take into account our model, then its length is 362 meters. Deadweight is 19750 tons. The ship was lowered in 2008. This liner can carry the maximum number of passengers, which is 6296 people. The crew is equal to 2384 people. On board, by the way, there is also a bunch of entertainment, which is unrealistic to put on one sheet.

As for the length of the ship, it is equal to 345 meters. Deadweight - 19189 tons. The design on the water was lowered in 2002. This is one of the largest passenger liners in the world. Through the entire ocean, the ship is ready to forward up to 2620 people. There are also 15 restaurants, a casino, ship planetarium and much more.

10. Mozah

Last place in our list gets a ship with a length of 345 meters and a deadweight in 128900 tons. The design is considered the first of the Q-MAX tanker family. It was done to transport reduced natural gas, which is mined in the fields near Qatar.

Video: Top 10 largest ships in the world

For many centuries, both commercial vessels and combat ships are furious ocean expanses. Sometimes people build such Mahina that, looking at the photos, you can hardly imagine them. These bulwes are transporting people, cargoes, oil and gas. On the 6 largest floats in the world - further in the review.

1. SuperTanker Knock Nevis

The longest ship, ever built, is the oil tanker Knock Nevis, before that is known as JaHre Viking. Knock Nevis is also considered the largest object in general created by a person. Its maximum length of 458.45 meters, and a displacement of 260,941 tons.

The supertanker first entered the water in 1979, when the shipyard Sumitomo Heavy Industries in Japan left. The vessel transported crude oil around the world and in 1988 even fell under the bombardment during the Iran-Iraq war. The vessel caught fire in coastal waters and sunk, it was completely written off. After the end of the war, Jahre Viking raised, repaired and put into operation again.

To control the supertanker, you need a crew of only 35 people. Mahina is driven by one 9-meter screw, which makes 75 revolutions per minute. Due to this, the cruising speed of 16 knots is achieved (30 km / h). To brake, the vessel needs 9 kilometers, and for turning - 3 kilometers of water space.

For its history, the ship has repeatedly changed its name, owners and port of the registry. In 2009, the tanker made his last flight to India, after which it was cut on metal.

2. Aircraft carrier USS Enterprise

American USS Enterprise is the world's largest warship. This is an atomic aircraft carrier, also known as CVA-65. This is the eighth ship with the name in the American Fleet, but the most huge one. Its length is 342 meters and it can carry up to 4,600 servicemen and 90 aircraft.

The atomic power plant of eight reactors produces the maximum power of 280,000 hp, due to which the ship can develop the speed of 33.6 nodes (62 km / h). These characteristics look even more impressive if we consider that USS Enterprise was commissioned in 1962. In 2017, after 55 years of service, the ship officially written off. Prior to that, he managed to see the Cuban crisis, the War in Vietnam, the war in Iraq, where the US military power was represented.

3. Gas carrier Q-MAX

The world's largest gas carriers are Q-MAX. Their displacement is 162,400 tons, length 345 m, width - 55 meters. C-MAX vessels can accommodate up to 266,000 cubic meters of natural gas and develop speeds up to 19.5 knots (36 km / h).

At the moment, in the world of 14 gas carriers of the Q-MAX class, the cost of each giant is $ 290 million. Courts were built by Samsung Heavy Industries, Hyundai Heavy Industries and Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering. The first gas carrier in the series (Mosa) was completed in 2007 on shipyard in South Korea. The ship received its name in honor of the second wife of the rulers of Qatar.

4. CSCL Globe CSCL container

In November 2014, the ceremony of naming the world's largest CSCL Globe container ship was held. This is the first of five container shocks ordered by the Chinese CSCL transport company in 2013. The vessel is designed for sailing on a route from Asia to Europe. The gigantic appeal of 400 meters long has a displacement of 186,000 tons and can carry up to 19,100 nautical containers.

On CSCL Globe used MAN B & W engine with an electronic control capacity of 77,200 hp 17.2 meters high.

5. Harmony of the seas

For several decades, ROYAL CARIBBEAN INTERNATIONAL has been building new cruise liners that are more and more previous ones. In 2016, Harmony of The Seas 362 meters long fired. The ship accommodates 2,200 crew members and 6000 passengers who travel through the Mediterranean, the Atlantic and the Caribbean Sea.

Displacement Harmony of the Seas is 225,282 tons, the vessel reaches the maximum speed of 22.6 nodes (41.9 km / h).

On board a lot of entertainment events, so as not to miss a few weeks in a row: spa, casino, quest room, rink, surfing simulator, theater, two walls for climbing, ziplein, swimming pools, basketball court, small golf course and even water park.

The cost of building Harmony of the Seas is estimated at billion dollars, which makes it one of the most expensive commercial vessels ever built.

6. Ti class supertankers

The largest oil tankers that are still exploited are Ti class supertankers. These are ships Ti Africa, Ti Asia, Ti Europe and Ti Oceania. Mega-tankers built in South Korea in 2003 for the Hellespont Greek company.

Class Ti Class Long "Total" 380 meters - 78 meters shorter than Knock Nevis. The displacement of each of them is 234,006 tons and under full load, they can develop a speed of 16.5 nodes (30.5 km / h). Total built 4 ocean giants, which are still exploited.

And quite recently, the record was considered
