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.
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.
