Most big ship In the world of November 30th, 2016

Until today, I considered the biggest ship or for example

During comes, technology is developing. It so happened that the glory of the largest ships was entrenched for container workers and supertankers. But far less noticeable ships, intended for the performance of technical and production work, have long walked them over these parameters. And depending on the goals set, they are becoming more and more.

A new record holder "Pioneering Spirit), belonging to the Swiss company, is a gigantic construction and mounted catamaran, which has no analogues in modern shipbuilding.

Let's figure it out more than what and why this lord of waves was built, the width of which exceeds the length of the football field.

Pioneer is a giant sizes. Reaching 124 meters wide and 382 in length, it is equal to the famous Empire State Building, and its width exceeds the length of the football field. Load capacity is great even for ships of the same type - 48 thousand tons. The cost of the project also goes to the record and is almost 3 billion dollars.

Unlike petroleum tankers or container ship courts, crane vessels specialize in the transport of multi-torrent cargo and take part in sea construction. This vessel will be used to install petroleum and gas platforms.

The customer of the world's largest crane vessel is AllSeas, which is not going to stop at what is achieved: the next shipped ship will have 160 meters wide and 400 meters long. A new ship will be commissioned no later than 2020. The construction of giants is carried out on shipyards in South Korea.

Built in the docks of South Korea, the pioneer was sent to Rotterdam for final finishing and descent. From the Masflact-2 zone, where a special dry dock was built for the new ship, the giant marine crane will go to Cape Town, and then to its first task.

Serve a catamaran team of 571 people, including sailors, engineers, specialists in the rise and installation of marine drilling platforms and auxiliary personnel.

The world's largest ship cost its owners of AllSeas Corporation in the amount of 1.7 billion dollars, and designed the draft Finnish shipbuilders of Deltamarin. The contract for the creation of a giant vessel, Allseas, was signed in June 2010, after which the development of design and technical documentation and bookmark of a huge ship in South Korea on the shipyard Daewoo Shipbuilding Marine Engineering began. In 2013, the world's largest ship "Pieter Schelte" is lowered to water.

Thanks to the use of the catamament type case, the size of the newest ship was impressive: the maximum length is 382 m, the width of 117 m. This design allowed placed on the deck of a floating city own infrastructure, as well as the ability to transport a small oil platform.

Energy installation of the vessel includes eight diesel engines with a capacity of 15640 hp And thirteen diesel generators Rolls-Royse with a total capacity of 97000 hp


It is noteworthy that the vessel originally was named after Peter Selite Homeram - Marine Engineer, Father Founder AllSeas, and, part-time - Nazi criminal. During World War II, Peter Schelte served in Waffen-ss, and after the end of the war, the Netherlands court sentenced Homeram to three years of conclusion for war crimes. At the end of last year, the provocative name was changed, and the ship became the "pioneer".

The largest ship in the world is equipped with three deck cranes with a lifting capacity of 50 tons and one-lifting capacity of 600 tons. The diameter of the paved pipes ranges from 2 to 68 inches, and in a special cargo compartment you can put pipes with a total weighing of 27 thousand tons.

The world's largest ship is equipped with modern system Dynamic positioning and intended for transportation, installation and commissioning of drilling platforms. The maximum load capacity of the widest ship in the world is 48 thousand tons. To do this, it was equipped with a unique film system with a height of 65 meters made by special order in Italy.

The owners lay great hopes for the newest ship, and it is confident that it will beat all records in the depth and speed of pipe laying, for this he has all the necessary equipment. In particular along the entire length of the largest ship in the world, seven automatic welding stations and six stations for applying a protective layer will be installed. It is also known that Allseas company intends to order a second multifunctional vessel, which will be more than its predecessor. The commissioning of the largest ship in the world is planned in 2020, and it will be the main purpose of installing and disassembling the largest oil and gas platforms.
