longest time big ship the legendary Titanik was considered on the planet with a length of 309 meters and a tragic fate. The modern largest ship surpassed the Titanic by more than 100 meters, making contemporaries gasp with delight.

The largest non-military ship on the planet

The largest ship in the world is undoubtedly Tanker Knock Nevis, owned by Norway. The history of this ship is truly unique, because it was built back in 1979, and at the same time it was first launched. Due to its huge size, the ship could not be called maneuverable, and by the mid-80s, its condition left much to be desired.

In 1986, during the 1986 Iran-Iraq war, the tanker was attacked and sunk. It was only restored in 1989, and a lot of money was spent on returning the tanker to its former gigantic size. From the start of her new life in 1989 until her scrapping in 2010, the ship changed its name several times, and even its dimensions varied slightly.

In 2010, it was decided to dispose of the ship, since the huge fuel costs did not pay off even the mass nature of the transported goods.

The width of the ship itself was 68.8 meters, and the maximum speed of this ship was 13 knots. The ship itself was designed for a crew of forty people, and the stopping distance of the tanker was more than twenty kilometers.

Other large ships

The Maersk Mc-Kinney Moller is rightfully considered the largest of those that are still in operation. The length of the ship designed to carry containers is 399 meters. The width of the vessel itself is 59 meters, and it is capable of speeds up to 23 knots.

Despite the incredible size, the ship does not have a negative impact on the environment. Thanks to modern technology, the owners of the vessel have managed to reduce the carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere as a result of the operation of the vessel by 50%.

Another ship designed to carry containers is the CMA CGM Jules Verne. The ship belongs to France, moored in the port of Marseille. The ship got its name in honor of the famous writer Jules Verne. The size of the container ship is 396 meters and the width is 54 meters.

The ship left on its maiden voyage in 2013 from South Korea, and is now actively exploited in order to develop French industry. The ship itself has a crew of 26 people, and the maximum speed of the ship is 22.5 knots. French experts have calculated that the size of the ship is 4 times the length of a standard football field. This vessel is considered not only one of the largest, but also the most modern, because innovations and the best modern technologies were used in the construction.

The largest ship designed for the transport of passengers and tourism - the liner Oasis of the Seas. The length of the liner itself is 361 meters and a width of 66 meters. This ship employs 2,100 people who serve the many visitors to the liner. Oasis of the Seas is known not only for its size, but also for the highest level of service.

So, for example, the ship has the largest casino, an ice rink, and a park with several thousand plants. Due to the excellent equipment of the ship, Oasis of the Seas is considered one of the best cruise liners in the world. This ship even has its own personal theater, which can accommodate 1380 spectators at the same time.

Man has always strived to set records not only in terms of the size of ships, but also in terms of the equipment of each ship. That is why in modern world there are several ships at once, whose dimensions are incredibly huge. Mostly, vessel data is used for industrial purposes, but also tourism is developing in favor of increasing the size of cruise ships.

Shipbuilding began to develop in ancient times. From century to century, only the shape and size of ships changed. But now the largest ships in the world do not cease to amaze people in modern ports.

Natives of the Scandinavian Peninsula, the Vikings, almost always plowed the sea. Their descendants are still considered leaders in shipbuilding.

Norway, tanker Knock Nevis, length 458 meters

The Norwegian tanker Knock Nevis has a length of 458.45 meters, a beam of 69 meters, and a loaded draft of 24.61 meters. Dimensions allow you to call it the largest water vessel in the world. Its deadweight is 564,763 tons (4.1 million barrels of oil), and the maximum speed that the tanker can reach is 13 knots, stopping distance is 10.2 kilometers. It was built in 1979 in Yokosuka, Japan, by order of a Greek shipowner. The next owner decided to enlarge the ship. As a result, it was cut and built up, additional sections were added to the hull.

Initially, the tanker ran between the US and the Middle East. But in 1986, it began to be used as a floating terminal for reloading and storing oil during the war between Iraq and Iran. In 1988, Knock Nevis was badly damaged after an attack by Iraqi aircraft.

After the war, the ship found shelter in Brunei and flew under the Norwegian flag. After the repair, the tanker changed its name twice, was Happy Giant and Jahre Viking.

After the passage of a law in Europe and the United States banning the use of tankers with a single-walled side (the thickness of Knock Nevis is only 3.5 centimeters), the ship was rebuilt into a "floating storage unit". And then he was returned to the original name. Now the tanker has been thrown onto the Indian coast and is awaiting disposal.

Denmark, container ship Emma Maersk, length 396.8 meters

The Danish container ship Emma Maersk is 396.84 meters long and 63.1 meters wide. Now the ship is called the world's largest container ship (it can carry up to 11 thousand containers at the same time). Emma Maersk was built in 2006, the owner of the shipbuilding company Arnold Maerks named it after his deceased wife. Later, seven more similar ships were built.

Emma Maersk can reach speeds of up to 31 knots. And about 170 thousand nautical miles (7.5 distances around the planet) pass annually, cruising between Europe and Far East through the Suez Canal (for such a large vessel, the Panama Canal is closed).

The container ship was dedicated a coin of 20 crowns in Denmark.

Bahamas, cruise ship Oasisoftheseas, length 360 m

First Oasis-class cruising vessel sails Bahamas. At the time of construction, it became the largest passenger liner in the world. It was replaced only by a ship of this class, Allure of the Seas, which is 5 centimeters larger. Oasisoftheseas weighs 45 thousand tons, consists of 48 thousand parts, its length is 360 meters (by the way, the famous Titanic was 269 meters long, 53 meters high), the maximum speed is 24 knots.

Allure of the Seas was built by a Finnish shipyard for the American shipping company. The contract for the construction of the first vessel was signed in early 2006. The project was originally called Project Genesis. modern name became known only in 2008.

The ship was laid down on June 19, 2007, a year later the construction dock was flooded, but the additional equipment did not stop. Tests began in June 2009 in the Baltic and ended a couple of weeks later. In October 2009, Allure of the Seas sailed to her home port in Fort Lauderdale. During the journey along Baltic Sea, he barely passed the Great Belt Bridge (passage is allowed for vessels up to 65 meters). To do this, we had to retract the exhaust pipes, increase the speed to the maximum in order to increase the draft of the stern on the go. As a result, about half a meter remained from the ship to the bridge anyway.

The cruise ship was baptized on November 30, 2009 at the port of registry, and it departed for its first flight on December 5. At the same time, calls to the ports of Sint Maarten, the Bahamas and St. Thomas were announced on the cruise. Only they could take such a large ship.

Real sea hotel

By the way, on such a huge ship you can live like on land. There is an ice skating rink, a casino, a theater, night club, discotheque, jazz club, carousel pools, water park, shops and boutiques, restaurants and bars, sports clubs with basketball and volleyball courts and even a golf course. And that is not all. Passengers can rest in the shade of trees (there are about 12 thousand of them).

UK, liner Queen Mary 2, length 345 meters

One of the world's largest passenger ships was commissioned in early 2004. He was launched in France at the shipyards of Saint-Nazaire. Queen Mary 2 is 76 meters longer than the Titanic.

The liner was named after the Queen Mary, which, at one time, was named after the wife of King George V of Britain, Mary of Teck.

Built Queen Mary in Saint-Nazeren shipyard Chantiers de l'Atlantique. Ile de France, Normandy and France were assembled there.

The liner set off on its first trip on January 10, 2007 from the American Fort Lauderdale and finished there 81 days later. This trip is recorded in the Guinness Book of Records as a trip around the world of the largest ship for passengers. There were almost half a thousand people on board, some of them paid an additional 100 thousand dollars for a round-the-world trip.

Interestingly, during the passage of New York, passengers on the upper deck can look the Statue of Liberty straight in the eye.

On board this ship there is everything you need for an idle life. 1310 cabins, 4 swimming pools, a huge library on the sea (800 thousand books), a helicopter pad, an Internet cafe, 6 restaurants, 12 galleys, laundries, a tennis court, a mini-golf course, the only planetarium on the sea, a theater, 2 cinemas, and same way shopping center, casino, sports club and even a ballroom.

USA, aircraft carrier USS Enterprise (CVN-65), length 342 meters

This is the first aircraft carrier with a nuclear power plant. It was laid down at the end of 1957 and commissioned in 1961.

The largest warship in the world has a length of 342.3 meters. Nuclear fuel from one load is enough for 13 years of operation, and during this time the aircraft carrier is able to travel about 1 million miles.

The total cost of the aircraft carrier reached 451 million dollars. And it was precisely because of such a high price that serial construction did not begin, although it was originally planned to assemble 5 more Enterprise brothers.

In early 1962, the aircraft carrier made its maiden voyage. Then they were commanded by Vincent DePoe.

The first "baptism of fire" occurred during the Cuban Missile Crisis. The ship became part of the US Second Fleet and participated in the naval blockade of Cuba. Then he served for several years in the Mediterranean. In 1964, the Enterprise circumnavigated the world with three nuclear-powered ships.

In 1965, the ship joined the Seventh Fleet and sailed to Southeast Asia. He became the first ship with a nuclear control system, which took part in the hostilities (Vietnam War). The aircraft carrier set a record - exactly 165 sorties per day.

On January 14, 1969, one of the rockets self-launched on board. She hit the fuel tank, which spilled, followed by explosions of aerial bombs and erratic scattering of rockets. As a result, 27 people died, 343 were injured, 15 aircraft were destroyed. Damage was estimated at $6.4 million. In the early 1980s, the Enterprise survived the removal of the SCANFAR radar and a reactor overhaul. The aircraft carrier was decommissioned on December 1, 2012.

Oceans and seas occupy most of the surface of our planet. To move on them, mankind has been building various ships for many millennia, and some of them are truly gigantic in size. The largest ships in the world, as a rule, are cargo ships tankers or container ships. But among other types of ships in the world, there are those that deserve interest when it comes to the largest ship. Therefore, the top 10 largest ships below include relatively modest in size compared to tankers, but the largest ships in their class (military, passenger, sailing).

1. Prelude

Although this ship is not yet in operation, it already rightfully bears the title of the largest ship in the world. The dimensions of its hull, which has already been launched in 2013, are amazing. The length of the vessel is 488 m, and the width is 78 m. With such gigantic dimensions cargo Ship has a displacement of 600,000 tons. This is not quite a cargo ship, but the world's first floating platform designed for the production, liquefaction and subsequent transportation of natural gas. The giant is being built by the order of Royal Dutch Shell by the South Korean corporation Samsung Heavy Industries.

Full completion of construction is scheduled for 2017. The floating leviathan, which produces and processes gas independently, cannot go by sea; tugboats will be used for this. Place of future work of the platform - western australia, 295 km east of the city of Broome. The cost of building the ship is $12 billion, and the estimated period of operation is 25 years. The design of the vessel is designed to withstand the most powerful cyclones that exist in nature, for this it has three shunting engines with a capacity of 6700 hp. with. everyone. With the help of them, during storms, the ship will turn to the required position. The capacity of the floating plant is 3,600,000 tons of liquefied gas per year.

2 Seawise Giant (Knock Nevis)

If the previous largest ship in the world represents the future of shipbuilding, then this largest ship in history has already been decommissioned and cut up for scrap. A giant 458.5 m long and 69 m wide was built in 1976, its displacement was almost 565 thousand tons. Its colossal dimensions did not allow it to pass through the Panama and Suez canals and even through the English load line was 24.6 m.

Max Speed Because of its size, the movement of the tanker was relatively small, 13 knots or 21.1 km/h, but even so, the braking distance of the ship was 10.2 km, and the turning circle of the ship was 3.7 km. Initially, in 1976, the ship, built by the Japanese Sumitomo Heavy Industries (SHI), was named Oppama. Then its dimensions were more modest, length - 376.7 m, displacement - 418.6 thousand tons. Later, the new owner of the ship, the Orient Overseas Line company from Hong Kong, ordered the restructuring of the ship, a cylindrical insert was added to it, and the ship acquired its final record size. In 1981, the ship was named Seawise Giant and began to sail the ocean under the Liberian flag carrying crude oil.

In 1986, during the Iran-Iraq conflict, the tanker ran aground due to damage from an anti-ship missile. After the war, it was bought and restored by the Norwegian Norman International, the ship was renamed the Happy Giant. Even before it was put into operation in 1991, it was again resold to the Norwegian shipping company Loki Stream AS, so when the ship left the shipyard in Singapore, it received another new name Jahre Viking. The tanker received its last name Knock Nevis in 2004 after its purchase Norwegian company First Olsen Tankers Pte, this year she was anchored and ceased to be a transport vessel. The giant made its last voyage in 2009 to the shores of India, where it was disposed of in 2010. One of his 36-ton anchors can be seen today in maritime museum Hong Kong.

It is currently the world's longest operating ship. This is a container ship with a length of 397 m, it is one of 8 vessels of the E-Class series built by the Moller-Maersk Group. The displacement of the ship is 157 thousand tons, it was launched in 2006. Its main purpose is to transport goods between Southeast Asia and Northern Europe through the Suez and Gibraltar Canals.

The ship is capable of carrying up to 11,000 typical 20-foot containers (with cargo), its carrying capacity is 123,000 tons. The power of its huge diesel plant is 109,000 liters. s, and its mass is 2300 tons, thanks to it the ship can go across the ocean at a speed of 25.5 knots. On average, a large commercial vessel travels a total distance of just over 300,000 km a year.

Today, the vessels of this series are the largest ships in operation in terms of displacement, which is 441.6 thousand tons. They have a double hull, which is dictated by modern environmental requirements for ships carrying dangerous environment bulk cargo. A total of 4 ships of this series were built, 2 of which, TI Europe and TI Oceania, sail the ocean, and 2 were turned into floating platforms to ensure the operation of the field near Qatar. The length of the vessels is 380 m.

5. Ore trucks Vale

These are the largest dry cargo ships operated in modern times. The displacement of the largest vessels of this series reaches 400 thousand tons, and the length is 362 m. All vessels of the Vale family are owned by the Brazilian mining corporation of the same name. They are mainly used to transport iron ore to the US from Brazilian deposits.

Today, the fleet of super-ore carriers consists of 31 ships with a displacement of 380 to 400 thousand tons. Four of the largest ships were recently chartered to China's largest dry-cargo fleet operator COSCO for 25 years. The advantage of Vale vessels is their low diesel fuel consumption and low carbon dioxide emissions per ton of ore, when compared with conventional ore carriers with a displacement of up to 200,000 tons.

This is the largest passenger ship, its length is 362 m, and the displacement is 19.8 thousand tons. It has a twin ship - the Oasis in the Seas cruise ship, which is 50 mm shorter. Allure of the Seas was launched as recently as 2008. The cruise ship has a crew of 2,100 and a maximum passenger capacity of 6,400. On board the ship are:

• a park with exotic trees and shrubs;
• a variety of sports facilities (ice rink, golf course, basketball and volleyball courts, bowling, etc.);
• swimming pools with jacuzzi;
• shops, casinos and more.

7. Aircraft carrier USS Enterprise

This is the largest warship in the world. The aircraft carrier is 342 m long and 78.4 m wide. This is the first warship of this type with a nuclear power plant(8 reactors). The Enterprise entered service in 1961. It was originally planned to build 5 ships of this type, but due to the enormous cost ($451 million) and a number of other reasons, the largest warships of this modification decided not to be replicated. In 2012, the aircraft carrier made its last 8-month sea voyage. The crew of the ship was 3000 people, the number of aviation personnel - 1800 people, up to 90 aircraft and helicopters could be located on the aircraft carrier.

If we talk about huge military ships, then Russia also has its own large aircraft carrier - this is the heavy aircraft-carrying cruiser Admiral of the Fleet of the Soviet Union Kuznetsov. It is 306 meters long and 72 meters wide. If we talk about the operating fleet, then at present it is second in size only to Nimitz-class aircraft carriers, their length is almost 333 m.

This is the largest steamship ever built. Its length was 211 m, and the displacement was 22.5 thousand tons. The ship was launched in 1857. From the very beginning of its operation, it was firmly entrenched in notoriety, what other ship, except for the one pursued by misfortunes, could in just two years:

• cause the death of several dozen workers during launching;
• get damaged due to the explosion of the steam engine during the first passage;
• hit the rock.

The crew of the ship was 418 people, and the passenger capacity was 4,000 people. The steamer was propelled by two paddle wheels powered by a 3650 hp steam engine. with. and a 4-bladed propeller powered by a 4000 hp steam engine. with. In addition, the ship could go by sea under sails fixed on 6 masts.

9. Project 941 Shark submarines

These are the largest submarines of our time. The length of the submarines of this series is almost 173 m, and the underwater displacement is 48 thousand tons. Their colossal dimensions, first of all, were determined by the dimensions of the main armament - intercontinental solid-propellant three-stage ballistic missiles.

The underwater vessel is set in motion thanks to two water-cooled nuclear reactors with a capacity of 190 MW each (shaft power 2 × 50 thousand hp) and two steam turbine installations. In addition, the ship has two standby DC electric motors and a thruster, consisting of two folding columns driven by electric motors. The crew of the submarine - 160 people.

This five-masted barque, launched by the French in 1912, is the largest sailing ship in history, its length was 146.2 m, and the displacement was 10.7 thousand tons. The ship was used to transport goods (wool, ore, coal) around the world. In 1922, near New Caledonia, the ship hit the reefs and was abandoned by the owners. In 1944, during the bombing, it was destroyed.

Any ship presented in our TOP 10 largest ships can be called engineering creations. Of course, gigantic dimensions are not the goal for which these ships were designed and built. The dimensions of the ships are determined, first of all, by the tasks that huge ships had to solve or solve.
