Top 5 biggest ships in the world

Ships are great. They transport people, transport goods, they help fight wars, and best of all they transport cars. Oh, and they’re really big.

 1.After beating out the CSCL Globe container ship earlier this year, the MSC Oscartook the title of largest container ship. She’s so big, there may not even be a port large enough on the United States that she can dock to. Did I mention she can hold something like 39,000 cars? That’s kind of huge.

2. Though she’s not much of a war fighter or hauler of goods, the Oasis Of The Seas can hold about 6000 vacationing passengers. I’m not much of an ocean-liner guy myself, but if I had to choose a ship to be trapped on for about a week, surely I would choose the one that has seven “neighborhoods” within itself.

3. Best known for transporting a massive ocean-based radar unit (as shown above), several oil rigs, and even a war-damaged United States Navy destroyer, the Blue Marlin is not only a massive ship on her own terms, but she’s also capable of holding some of the larger ships and rigs that live on our seas.

4. The TI Asia is currently commissioned as a floating production storage and offloading vessel for crude oil. At full load, the TI Asia weighs in at over 509,000 tons of displacement, making it one of the biggest ships in the world.

5. Launched just last year, the CSCL Globe is one of the largest container ships on the seas. She can carry over 19,000 twenty foot containers without even breaking a sweat.
