The largest sea liner in the world. The largest ocean liner

  • 13.09.2020

Of all thousands of liners that exist today in the world, the biggest cruise ship is considered Oasis of the seas. At the same time, it is also the most expensive liner on the planet: his unsurpassed luxury cost the owners of the vessel at 1.24 billion dollars.

Passenger Liner Oasis of the Seas Was lowered on October 28, 2009. And so far, this vessel does not have equal on bold design, nor by the mass of technological advances. All this ensures its passengers unforgettable sea cruises. And this is against the background of the fact that a two-week journey on a wonderful ship in the cheapest cabin will cost a rather modest amount - from 1300 euros for a place.


The crew of the vessel was the company "Royal Caribbean International", which thought over in his brainchild everything to the smallest detail, including and, of course, one hundred percent protection of the ship from hurricanes, giant waves and even infectious diseases. Direct shipbuilding work on the order of the mentioned company was made at the StX Europe enterprise. It is interesting that the screws for a huge vessel were made in the Russian company - Baltic Plant OJSC.


The length of the "oasis of the seas" is 361 meters, the width is 66 meters, and the height is 72 meters. The liner is built with a displacement of 225 thousand tons. Such impressive parameters of the ship suggests that Oasis of the seas is 40% more than any other liner in the world. In relation to the sadly known "Titanic", this vessel is 5 times greater than its size.


In total, the largest liner in the world consists of 16 decks, 2704 cabins designed for 6,360 passengers and 2160 crew members. If you compare Oasis of the Seas in height with conventional buildings, then above the water, it rises at the level of a 20-storey building. The vessel has 6 engines, which, together with other power plants, provide the ship with a power of 96 MW to develop a speed of up to 22.6 sea nodes, which is 41.9 km per hour.


Entertainment on the "oasis of the seas" is invented a huge set, for every taste - from millionaires to ordinary ordinary people. So, on the ship there is a water amphitheater, a carousel (made "in full-size"), a floating park, an ice rink, a golf course, 4 swimming pools (with a total water volume of 2300 tons), volleyball and basketball courts, walls for climbing and children's Zone with thematic parks.


Also, a huge liner is famous for the fact that it is 10 SPA-coupled and fashionable surfing simulators. At the same time, Oasis of the seas is so big that is divided into thematic areas. We will pay attention, for example, on a tropical zone that attracts palm trees and wines: There are always a lot of people who rest and relax both in the tropics. In total, 12 thousand plants landed on the ship, including 56 trees.


As a result, being in the open sea, tourists liner have the opportunity to visit the unique analogue of the "Central" Park in New York. Here you can relax in the shade of real large trees, see the ice show and listen to Broadway musicals. In addition, at the stern Oasis of the Seas there is an open amphitheater, designed for 750 seats, which was made according to an ancient Greek amphitheater. And in another part of the ship is a closed theater that can accommodate 1300 guests.


At the same time, the vessel passengers are celebrating all the time, so in a two-week cruise "oasis of the seas" goes with the following reserve: more than 14 tons of meat products, 20 thousand champagne bottles, 44 thousand fresh eggs, 6.6 tons of lettuce, 3 tons of bow, 22 Tonato tons and it is not all. In the restaurants of the vessel prepare the most sophisticated dishes for which products should also always be at hand. In total, about 70 thousand main dishes are served on the vessel every day, of which 15 thousand desserts.

Be sure to mention both the utilization of garbage on a liner. For waste recycling on Oasis of the Seas there is own factory. Here, the whole garbage is first sorted, and then pressed and thrown into a landfill in the nearest port. Also on board the liner there is own film studio, in which the daily material about life on the "oasis of the seas" and in the evening is broadcast to the cabins of vacationers.


In addition, more than three hundred chefs work on the vessel. And on the galley there is a warehouse of products, a total cost of 2 million dollars. Strict rules say that only registered employees have access to the galley. At the same time, the service personnel and crew members also lead a full-fledged life on the ship, but it is completely isolated from guests, and all the movements of people working on the liner occur along a hidden system of service stairs and corridors.


In the center of the cruise ship passes an amazing place called "Royal Promenade". There is a transparent illumination elevator. Also in this place there are a lot of bars and shops, which makes this "Street" like a small town. As already mentioned, at Oasis of the Seas there is a show on ice, which always collects many viewers. But in order for the natural bundle of the ship does not interfere with artists, a vessel stabilization system is included during the show.


On the "oasis of the seas" everything is thought out for a luxurious recreation of passengers, but sometimes tourists behave badly and interfere with others. Then they are asked to leave the liner in the nearest port. But heavier situations arise in cases where someone from the vessel guests dies. Then the body of the deceased is placed in his own morgue, and relatives of such a person console the whole team. Also, the liner staff has to solve many problems: from providing medical care before investigation of crimes.


But on the safety of the vessel also watches its own service. Her employees go to civilianship, and constantly monitor with video cameras. And in the case of unforeseen situations, Oasis of The Seas will be used by a modern system of rescue bots, as well as inflatable rescue raids, which are located at certain points throughout the ship.

Who said the size does not matter? Giant courts affecting their dimensions are built on the latest technology and transport more than 90% of the total number of goods by sea (and this is still not counting people). The biggest ships in the world belong to oil tankers, container workers and cruise liners.

Large ships are built for different human needs. Some, with large diesel engines, transport cargoes for long distances, and naval ships are usually sailed on nuclear engines to be able to independently depend on fuel and stay in the sea for many months. But, regardless of the way of movement, at one glance, one of the megacararabals you understand how many human efforts and which engineering genius took to build each giant.

Here list of biggest ships in the world with photos and detailed description.

10. Planet Solar - 31 meters

What kind of energy did not try to use the shipping industry - diesel, gas, atomic, wind energy. But the solar region remained unhappy until the appearance of Planet Solar. This is the largest ship using exclusively solar energy in the world. Its length is 31 meters, and the panels are able to absorb almost 103.4 kW of solar energy.

Ship speed is still small - only 8 knots, but in the end, it is a unique development. It will certainly be improved.

9. Club MED 2 - 194 meters

Built in 1992 in Havre, France, Club MED 2 is the largest sailing ship in the world. Its length is 194 m, and load capacity - 14,983 tons. For comparison: the length of the wing is 117, 3 meters.

In addition to 214 crew members, 386 passengers can be climbed on board CLUB MED 2. A sailboat develops speed up to 10-15 knots and is currently working as a cruise ship - summer floats along the waters of the Mediterranean and Adriatic seas, and in the winter it goes to the Caribbean.

Club Med 2 five masts. In addition to seven sails (they are managed by people, but a computer of a ship), four diesel engines are installed on the ship. Entertainment for passengers includes ballroom dancing, card games, musical shows and, of course, stunning sea views - Club Med 2 floats, like many sailing ships before it, along the coastline and only during the day, and at night it becomes anchored.

8. CER-33 - 265 meters

The largest ship in Russia is known as the name "Ural". It refers to the class of intelligence ships with a nuclear installation. Built "Ural" was in the times of the "Cold War", when the USSR and the United States watched might and mainly after each other. And he was intended for intelligence operations in, where the United States possessed several polygons for testing ballistic missiles. The length of "Urals" was 265 m., The crew consisted of 950 people, the cruise rate is 21.6 nodes. Thanks to the Ural nuclear engine, there was an autonomy and after refueling could not go to the port for three months.

He began his service "Ural" on the Far Eastern coast, where because of the giant sizes, there was no suitable pier, so he spent most of the time, standing by anchor in the bay. But his calm was deceptive - in the 1980s, Ural served as the main source of information about what was being done in the US military circles and Japan.

It all ended with the beginning of restructuring. At first, junior urgent service specialists were dismissed, then the atomic boilers were injured as a result of a fire. For a while, the ship lived on diesel generators, until the painful half-righteous existence ended in 2001 - "Ural" put on a joke. In 2008, its disposal began, and by 2016 it was finally disassembled.

7. USS ENTERPRISE (CVN-65) - 342 meters

No, this vessel has nothing to do with the "Star Path", but the size of it is truly impressive - this is the biggest warship in the world in the history of the military fleet. Its length is 342 m, it can carry up to 4,600 servicemen, 2520 tons of weapons, and the cruise velocity of the Entherprise thesis is 33.6 nodes.

Uss Enterprise has a long and glorious story.

  • Once he became the first among atomic aircraft carriers (launched in 1961) and its price was so high that the planned series of ships of the same appointment and the size was decided to refuse.
  • He began the USS Enterprise service during the Caribbean crisis, then patrolled the Mediterranean, participated in the War of Vietnam and, after almost twenty years, in Iraq, fought with the sea pirates ...
  • In general, his service life was 51 years in a row - longer than any other US aircraft carrier to this day.

But the world changed, and even such a technically perfect ship, regularly undergoing modernization, hopelessly outdated. In 2012, the ship committed his last journey. And by April 2018, he was finally disabled.

6. RMS Queen Mary 2 - 345 meters

The world's largest transatlantic liner is RMS Queen Mary 2, built in 2004. The name of his ship was in honor of the first "Queen of Mary", which descended from shipyard in 1936, and RMS abbreviation (Royal Mail, Royal Mail Ship) was awarded only the most speed and reliable courts. Currently, the RMS Queen Mary 2 is the only transatlantic vessel, the cruising between Southampton and New York. However, once a year, the Queen works as a cruise ship, making a round-the-world tour.

The length of the "Queen of Mary" is 345 m, it can accommodate 2620 passengers and 1253 crew members. It develops speed in 30 nodes. Although the vessel is inferior in the size of the titanic cruise liners (however, only 15 m), but still does not learn its position as the largest ocean liner.

  • The cruise from the ocean liner is different in that the first of them goes on the journey and descends the passengers on the spot in the same port, while the first goal is to transport passengers from one point to another.
  • However, the difference is not the only one. The transatlantic liner performs long journeys, therefore often faces adverse weather conditions. Therefore, it should be stronger than that of cruise liners floating in comfortable conditions, nautical qualities - the best, and the engines are more powerful.
  • The cruise vessel can afford instead of seaworthy qualities and endurance to focus on the number of passengers transported - so they have such a fun box shape for the best passenger complex.

5. Gas carriers Q-MAX - 345 meters

The world's largest liquefied gas carriers are Q-MAX vehicles. Their length reaches 345 m, and the total capacity varies from 262,000 to 267,000 m3. At the same time, they have a good speed for the vessels of this class - 19.5 knots.

The very first of them, Mozah, came out from the shipyard in 2007 and received his name in honor of one of the wives of Emir Qatar. All 14 vessels are the property of a Qatari company for the transport of natural gas. These are the largest ships of those who are able to dock to the LNG terminals.

4. Oasis of the seas - 360 meters

The largest passenger ships in the world are Oasis of the Seas, Allure of the Seas and Harmony of The Seas, previously known as Project Genesis. They own ROYAL CARIBBEAN and were built according to 2009, 2010 and 2015. The length of the cruise liners is 360 m, and the capacity is up to 6296 passengers, excluding the team of 2394 people. These are the most speeds of large passenger ships - their speed reaches 22.6 knots.

Entertainment on them plentifully that the tourists are not bored on board. There is even surfing, zipline (cable descent) with a length of 25 m and a height of 9 decks, two walls for climbers with a height of 13 m, swimming pools, a basketball court, water park and even an ice rink. No wonder that on the ship so much service personnel!

The cost of the construction of Oasis of the Seas was about 1.14 million dollars - the highest price that was paid for a civilian ship in the entire history of mankind. Both Oasis and Allure at the moment make weekly cruises in the Caribbean Sea and are very popular among tourists.

3. CHAIN \u200b\u200bCLASS TI - 380 meters

The largest oil tankers in operation were designed and built for Hellespont Group on shipyard in South Korea Daewoo (or rather, its shipbuilding unit) in 2003. Total courts four - later customers renamed them to "Ti Oceania", "Ti Europe", "Ti Asia" and "Ti Africa".

It was spent on the construction of each vessel about 90 million dollars and 700,000 people-hours. They are shorter than Knock Nevis, 78 m; The length of them is 380 m, carrying capacity is 440000 tons, and the speed they can develop from 16 to 18 nodes. In addition to the sizes, the ships are impressive with the grace of the outlines and beauty of the design; If you look at them high on top, most of all, they look like giant snow-white icebergs.

2. CSCL Globe and Class Maersk Triple E - 400 meters

In the fall of 2014, the ceremony of "baptism" of the largest container carrier - CSCL Globe occurred in the world. It became the very first among five vessels of the 19000 TEU (TEU - "Twenty Pit Equivalent", the capacity of the cargo transportation facility) ordered by the Chinese shipbuilding company in 2013. True, since then, the CSCL Globe record has been beaten by the OOCL class trucks, the capacity of which reaches an impressive number 21413 TEU - at the same length.

MEGACARBELL 400 M length floats with the main engine with a capacity of 77200 liters. p., the effectiveness of which is so high that it consumes no more fuel than container carrier with a loading capacity is almost twice as fewer. Fuel economy is up to 20%. This is due to the fact that the "smart" engine reacts to the situation at sea and accordingly adjusts fuel consumption.

Danish Maersk company ordered Daewoo building 20 vessels of the Maersk Triple E. Each of them cost about $ 200 million. Their capacity is slightly less than that of CSCL Globe (18000 TEU), but in length they are almost the same. Cruise speed in new container carriers is high - from 23 to 26 knots, which makes them the fastest ships of this class in the world.

Triple E, that is, "Triple E" - encrypted in a brief form of principles that customers and shipbuilders adhered:

  1. saving;
  2. energy efficiency;
  3. ecology.

Currently, the Court Maersk is one of the most effective container shipments in terms of costs / volume of cargo transported.

1. Knock Nevis - 458.45 meters

During his service, people ship changed a lot of titles - SeaWise Giant, Happy Giant, Jahre Viking and Finally, Knock Nevis. This is the longest ship in the history of shipbuilding - from the nose to the feed the length of it is 1504 feet (or 458.45 m), which exceeds the length of the Empire State Building laid on the side of the skyscraper. Knock Nevis belonged to the class of ULCC oil tankers and possessed the largest lifting capacity from all vessels. It is considered the largest artificial object capable of moving independently, of all ever built by a person.

With a full load, the volume of cargo transported by the ship was 657,019 tons, and with a 24.6 m for the marine giant, even La Mans, Suez and Panaman canals were chalk. At the same time, the vehicle speed was surprisingly high for such sizes - 16 nodes. It was driven by Knock Nevis in motion the only engine with a diameter of 9 m. The braking path from the cruise velocity to the full stop occupied 9 km, and the rotation radius of the vessel was 3 km. Served his team in 35 people.

Built Knock Nevis was in 1979 by the Japanese shipbuilding company Sumimoto Heavy Industries on Japanese shipyard in Yokosuko. Greek owner Narek Ship "Portos". Since then, the ship has seen a lot:

  • traveled around the seas for about 30 years;
  • received damage in 1988 during the Iran-Iraq war;
  • was renovated and sold to Norway;
  • in 2009, he made his last journey to shipyard in Gujarat, India, where he was dismantled.

Than dangerous the biggest ships in the world

Huge ships are not very harmless to ecology. Cargo transportation by sea costs the planet almost 1.4 billion tons of carbon dioxide, which is 6% of the total emission. This number is twice as much as the air transport.

For this reason, most sea giants are trying to translate into highly efficient and saving fuel engines, and also use hybrid systems - there are ships that leads the wind energy and the sun in motion.

The times when resting on cruise liners could afford only wealthy people, have long passed into the past. Today, sea cruises offer tourists the opportunity to visit several countries in the shortest possible time for a fully acceptable price, and the ticket price, as a rule, includes food and all sorts of entertainment. To place on board the vessel, passengers, recreation areas, restaurants and other attributes of sea cruise, liner sizes must be appropriate.
