Such a term as "displacement of ships" is found quite often. And although it is intuitive that it means, some people still do not fully imagine what this important parameter means. Let's look at it.
What does the vessel mean?
This parameter determines the volume of the exhausted water by the ship. The weight of the water that displaces the ship is usually equal to the weight of the ship itself. Therefore, express this parameter in tons, and not in volume. However, in the West, it is customary to indicate this parameter in powders (which is also the weight unit). One ton is 62.03 Pone. Therefore, if this parameter is 10,000 tons, it means that its weight is 620,300 pounds.
It is worth noting that the displacement of the courts is a non-permanent unit. It always changes. A loaded ship when following in one point will have one weight, after unloading its displacement becomes smaller. It also applies to fuel that is consumed as the vessel is promoted. So the ship from point "A" comes out with one displacement and comes to the item "B" with another. Therefore, it is impossible to say that the displacement of the courts determines the weight of the ship, although this is just partly. This parameter indicates which specifically the volume of water is supplanted on this moment. After all, even when one person comes on board, the displacement increases by 0.06-0.07 tons (by weight of one person).
Displacement of large courts
There are a lot of ships in the world with different values \u200b\u200bof the weight of displaced water. But what vessels are the leaders on this parameter? The dimensions of some ships are simply affected. And although some of the court rating no longer go, they still deserve attention as the largest and hard.
1st place - Prelude FLNG
The largest ship was built in 2013 in South Korea. This is a length of 488 meters and a width of 78 meters. It is intended for gas transportation. For its construction, 260 thousand tons of steel were used, and with complete loading, the displacement is 600 thousand tons.
To easier it was to imagine the size and weight of this vessel, it is possible to compare the USS Enterprise aircraft carrier. This ship can carry up to 90 aircraft and helicopters, and 8 nuclear reactors are used on board, 4 turbines. And also serves 4800 people. And its maximum displacement is 93,400 tons, which is approximately 6 times less than in the prelude FLNG.
2nd place - SeaWise Giant
This supertanker was built in 1979, and he was known under different names. In particular, it is called the queen of oceans and rivers. This Japanese ship suffered greatly during the Iran-Iraq war. It was considered that it was impossible to repair it, so it was decided to flood it. However, then it was raised from the bottom, repaired and called Happy Giant. In 2009, it made his last hike. Its displacement was 657,018 with a complete workload.
3rd place - Pierre Guillaumat
The third place rightly occupies Pierre Guillaumat. It was named after the French policy and founder of Elf Aquitaine Pierre Guioma. It was built in 1977, he served six years, and after was sent to scrap due to unprofitability. It turned out that the ship could not pass through the Panama or Suez Canal, and was not able to go to many ports of the world. Consequently, its use was strongly limited and sometimes it was irrationally driven through half airs bypassing the Panama or Suez Canal.
And although the ship was unprofitable and just unsuccessful, he possessed a huge load capacity, and the vessel displacement reached 555 thousand tons.
4th place - Batillus
This supertanker was built by Chantiers De L'Atlantique for the famous Neck-industrial Corporation Shell Oil. Its carrying capacity was 554 thousand tons, speed - 16-17 knots. Fairly ranks fourth, however, since 1985 is not used.
5th place - Esso Atlantic
In the history of ships, the name ESSO Atlantic is one of the most popular. The length of the vessel was 406 meters, load capacity - 516891 tons. The ship served 35 years as a tanker for transporting oil, but in 2002 it was commissioned in Pakistan.
6th place - Maersk MC-KINNEY MOLLER
The famous Maersk company has created one of the largest in the world of MC-Kinney Moller container shipments, which can boast the greatest lifting capacity among container ships. Its length amounted to 399 meters. With its dimensions, the ship turned out to be fast enough - its speed was 23 knots. Built ship was on the South Korean Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering plant.
7th place - Emma Maersk
And again, Maersk stood out, creating some of this vessel was still exploited (it was launched on the water quite recently - in 2006). Its capacity is 11 thousand containers (11000 DEE), and the length reaches 397 meters.
Finally
And although these ships today are the largest, it is only for a while. Technologies are improved, and in the near future we will be able to see new more roomy ships. It is also worth noting that the above vessels are leaders precisely by the parameter of the displacement, but at the same time they are not the largest. After all, the gabarities of the ship do not speak about his weight and the opportunity to transport large loads.
So, we gave the definition of the vessel's displacement. The main thing here is to understand that this parameter is not constant, it changes when loading, unloading, combustion of fuel.
When it comes to big ships, "Titanic" comes first to mind. It is certainly attributed to the category of the most famous ships, wrecked On the 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.

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.

He was built in 1979 in the Japanese yokosuka on request of the shipowner from Greece. The next owner decided to increase the ship. As a result, it was cut and increased, the housing was added additional sections.
Initially, the tanker rushed between the United States and the Middle East. But in 1986 it began to use it as a floating terminal for overloading and storing oil during the Iraq war with Iran. In 1988, Knock Nevis was very damaged after the attack of Iraqi aircraft.

There were no pleasure tourist liners. In fact, there are dozens of liners of different companies, about the same in size and competing with each other in luxury. In many ways, they are similar to each other. Let's at least look at the biggest one. In the course of the case and add this boat to our
Royal Caribbean International instructed the Finnish shipbuilders to build a completely new class passenger linerswhich will be able to keep the palm of championship for many years. So there was a cruise liner "Oasis of the Seas", which was laid on the water as the largest passenger ship in the world on October 28, 2009. In addition, the liner won the first place in another nomination, as the most expensive ship on the planet. 1.24 billion dollars was spent on its construction, the average cost of staying in the port of such a vessel will cost the owners of $ 2,000,000.
The new class "Genesis" chairlist "Oasis of the Seas" and the "Allure of the Seas" already under construction exceeded its predecessor "Freedom of the Seas" and steel 21 m longer, 8.5 meters wide and almost 43 percent heavier .
Passenger ships of the project "Genesis" became truly wonderful liners. It is a brave design, and a lot of innovations and technological advances in the conveniences for passengers, all this will now help attract new customers of unforgettable marine travel.
Liner "Oasis of the Seas" absorbed all the best that there is on the ships of Royal Caribbean International. Its first sailing on December 5, 2009 will be worse, including the most luxurious party in the sea. For his guests, this is an amazing sea trip, and for the cruise liner "Oasis of the Seas" is ready to withstand any threat: hurricanes, gigantic waves and even infectious diseases.
The ship was built by the shipbuilding company "STX EUROPE" specifically on request "Royal Caribbean International", the construction of the "oasis of the seas" cost at £ 855 million. The length of the vessel - 361 meters, width - 66, and its the highest point Roses above the water surface by 72 meters. Displacement of liner - 225 thousand tons. Oasis is 40% more than any other cruise ship in the world. The vessel is five times superior in terms of "Titanic", can accommodate at sixteen decks in 2704 cabins of 6360 passengers and a 2160 crew. By the way, a new liner is 2 times more than the previous record holder - Queen Mary II.
The vessel is equipped with 6 engines manufactured by Wärtsilä - three 12-cylinder and three 16-cylinder. In the aggregate, its power plants generate a power of 96 MW, which allows the ship to develop speeds of up to 22.6 sea nodes. The new owners of the vessel were very surprised, having learned that on the "oasis" on four on-board cabins more than planned.
New safety methods and design of absolutely new features for cruises made "Oasis of the Seas" one of the most anticipated cruise liners in history. The vessel has so-called telescopic pipes that can decrease if you have to swim under the bridge. The world's largest cruise liner "Oasis Sea" had to partially disassemble so that he could pass under the Danish Bridge "Great Belte". But even after the height of the pipes was reduced, the distance between the vessel and the construction structure was less than half a meter. For security reasons, movement on the bridge was blocked for 15 minutes. Hundreds of people gathered on both sides of the river to look at a brightly lit cruise liner, which towers above the water like a 20-storey house.
Entertainment here mass, and for ordinary people, and for millionaires. The ship is equipped with a water amphitheater, a carousel (made "in full-size"), a floating fleet, an ice roller, a golf course, 4 swimming pools, for which a total of 2300 tons of water, volleyball and basketball courts, wall for climbing and a children's zone from thematic parks and children's scientific laboratories. On it, among other things, there are 10 SPA-coupled and surfing simulators. The liner is so big that it is divided into "districts" with a special theme, including a tropical zone with palm trees and wines. In total, 12 thousand plants were planted on the ship and 56 trees - this is the world's first park on a ship of 2000 square meters. M, which became a kind of analogue of the Central Park in New York. Therefore, its passengers can relax in the park in the shade of real trees, listen to Broadway musicals and see the ice show.
Open amphitheater for 750 places in the open air is located on the stern and is made according to an ancient Greek amphitheater. The closed theater, located in another part of the ship, is designed for 1300 guests. Two-week cruise on the wonderful ship "Oasis of the Seas" will cost a rather modest amount: from £ 1300 for a place in the cheapest cabin. The construction of his twin vessel called "Allure of the Seas" is scheduled to be completed at the end of 2010.
Passengers like to celebrate all the time, but if the "premium class" cruise, and almost all people are wealthy, then on board the liner should be about 20,000 bottles of champagne, more than 14,000 kg of meat products, 44,000 fresh eggs, 6600 kg of salad, 3000 kg of bow, 22000 kg potatoes and this is only a small part of the food stock.
After the end of the loading, the cruise liner "Oasis of the Seas" goes to the first cruise swimming. And if you forgot, then alas, it's too late to correct errors. The liner left the Everglades port and the cruise began.
Oasis of the Seas cruise liners are hoping to avoid natural catastrophes of another type. If at least two people with viral disease passed on board the vessel, it will spread instantly, since everyone is in a closed space. The liner is equipped with disinfectants in all public places, especially before meals.
Liner cruises are usually a guarantee of first-class nutrition 24 hours a day. Especially during the festive cruises, when his staff arranges a real feast on board the liner. Restaurants serve the most sophisticated dishes.
A waste disposal is the most important part of the ship's internal device. On the "Oasis of the Seas" liner there is a waste waste recycling plant, where the whole garbage is carefully sorted. Tin jars are pressed, the glass is broken to prepare for processing, as well as all other solid waste are stored until they are thrown into a landfill in the nearest port, because the "Oasis of the Seas" cruise liner is an ecologically clean ship.
On board the vessel work over three hundred kokov. It is on a galley that are products that cost $ 2 million. Because of the strict rules of hygiene on the galley, the entrance to everything other than registered employees is prohibited. About 70,000 main dishes are served daily on the ship, of which 15000 desserts.
For all entertainment during the cruise, the director of the cruise is responsible. The most difficult part of his work: everything is done so that guests remain satisfied. He plans entertainment, communicates with guests and supports their good mood. On board there is own film studio. Her staff remove the daily material on board the liner, and then after mounting broadcast to the cabins, as a rule, in the evening.
No less amazing place on the cruise liner Oasis of the Seas is considered the "Royal Promenade", which is held in the center of the vessel. Here is a unique transparent illumination elevator. In this place, so many shops and bars are concentrated that it looks like small city. On board the cruise liner "Oasis of the Seas" you can find a lot of entertainment.
Traditionally, the upper deck has a pool with an artificial wave. Its pumps are pumped to 112,000 liters of water per minute.
One of the most popular activities on the liner is a theater that accommodates about 2,000 people. The show on ice also collects a lot of viewers. So that everything went without falls, engineers include a vessel stabilization system.
February 24, 2010. - ROYAL CARRIBEAN has realized that the idea of \u200b\u200btracking one person to others can like many, and turned out to be right, the novelty quickly became very popular
At the largest cruise liner in the world of Oasis of the seas, the company Royal Carribean offers a novelty of IT technologies, bracelets identifiers and iPhone mobile phones so that people can find each other in countless giant liner premises. Bracelets are personal RFID personal radio frequency identifiers, although it may be not only bracelets, but also badges or clips. WiFi acts throughout the ship, the signal from the bracelet through WiFi goes to the Apple iPhone mobile phone, equipped with a detailed liner scheme, that is, at any time one person can know exactly where the other is located.
On the vessel, almost 1000 places where you can go to WiFi, and at first the company just wanted to do so that people could communicate with each other through mobile phones and not only communicate, through ship iPhone you can get one or other information, order a service, etc. n., But then realized that the idea of \u200b\u200btracking one person to others can like many, and turned out to be right, the novelty quickly became very popular. It is easy to guess that parents became the main consumers of identifiers. The liner is incredibly huge, there are plenty of places where the child can be lost, and this can be a problem not only for parents, but also for the entire crew, the search for a lost person on the ship is a nominous and extremely difficult operation, the public Avral, and preferably at this time All other passengers drive into cabins or public premises.
First, the Oasis of the Seas as an identifier was offered a betray, but then went further, and now offer bracelets, which is much more convenient, as they can serve as a kind of pagers. If you serve a signal from the iPhone, the bracelet begins to vibrate, and its owner will understand what they are looking for it. If this is a child, then okay, but teenagers such an IT surveillance can hardly like it. The young man met a disco with a girl and retired with her in place darling and puzzling, good on a gigantic liner of such places with excess, and the damned bracelets will suddenly begin to vibrate, what is it? But what grace parents ...
The device runs on the basis of the location location system in real-time RTLS company Ekahau, the signal from the identifier is processed by the Defi Royal Connect program and is issued to the destination server, and from there already falls on the iPhone, location accuracy is 3-3.5 meters. Bracelets work from rechargeable batteries, for a weekly charging cruise enough with excess. After the cruise is completed, the bracelets are surrendered by the administration and are charged again. Reviews, they say in Royal Carribean, while very good, but how and where it is possible to use this novelty, in addition to the surveillance, they do not yet know the data. During cruises, the electronic spy users are polled, and hope that the collected information will allow you to expand the scope of application Wi-Fi RFID identifiers.
