What's the world largest ship?

Do you know what's the world largest ship of all kinds?

Well, that's not easy question because there are many ship types, and the record changes over years as the ships get bigger and bigger. But if you're interested, you'll find out the answer in this article.

The sea giant is so large that four football (soccer) fields could be laid end to end on her deck. It takes 5.5 miles to stop with a turning circle of over 2 miles.

She is of 458.45 meters in length from tip to tip (LOA). That surpasses the height of Empire State Building in New York City (443 meters high), and Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur (424 meters high).

Knock Nevis is the world largest ship of all kinds ever built in history. The supertanker had many other names: Seawise Giant, Happy Giant, Jahre Viking, and Mont before she is scrapped in 2010.

The vessel has a beam of 68.8 meters, approximately the width of a football field.More details

Largest container ship

The title of the largest container ship in the world once belonged to the Emma Maersk and her 7 sister ships of A.P.Moller-Maersk Corporation. The title then moved to Maersk Mc-Kinney Møller (18,270 TEU), OOCL Hong Kong (21,413 TEU), and currently MSC Irina (24,346 TEU).

Largest Cruise Ships

Oasis of the Seas was once the largest cruise ship around the world in 2006. At 360 m (1,180 feet) in length Oasis is 21 meters (69 ft) longer than the prior largest passenger ship, the Independence of the Seas and classmates. Oasis also is 8.5 meters (28 ft) wider, and with a gross tonnage of 225,282, is almost 45% larger. Oasis class vessels carry over 5,400 passengers.
