- 1 tanker Knock Nevis (458 m.)
Knock Nevis - supertanker under the Norwegian flag. During its existence, this supergiant changed several names: Seawise Giant, Happy Giant, Jahre Viking, Knock Nevis, Mont. Moreover, he had to change not only the name but also the size and the scope of its application.
Order to build the largest tanker in the world of Japanese shipyards received in 1974. And five years later, in 1979, the water was lowered a giant ship, amazing for its size. But the Greek shipowner, apparently, thought it a little.And he ordered the increase in the size of the tanker. After that, Seawise Giant (as it was then called) was cut in half, and in the middle were added additional sections. As a result, the size of the world's largest ship took the following values: length - 458.45 m, width - 68.86 meters, weight of cargo - 564,763 tons, the weight of the vessel - 81879 tons steering weight - 230 tons, the weight of the propeller - 50 tons. Additional sections welded into the body increased its deadweight tonnage (capacity) to 564 thousand 763 tons of oil, or - to 658 thousand 362 cubic metra.Na upper deck Knock Nevis theoretically could accommodate 5.5 football fields.
One of the main disadvantages of a supertanker that precipitated his short operation, the sediment was fully loaded - 24.61 m (more than 7-storey building). Because of its huge size, but also because of the risk of running aground, the ship could not pass through the Suez and the Panama Canal, as well as through the English Channel.
In 1986, during the Iran-Iraq war in the Strait of Hormuz, Exocet missiles tanker attacked and sank the aircraft Iraqi Air Force. The Iraqi fighter fired a unique tanker, which was then almost in the Persian Gulf anti-ship missile Exocet.It sank in shallow waters near the island of Kharg, so in August 1988, it picked up and brought to the repair shipyard Keppel Shipyard in Singapore, the new owner, Norman International. Repairers replaced 3.7 tons crumpled steel.
Anders Jahre bought emergency tanker and towed for repairs in Singapore. In 1989, after the repair of the tanker was renamed Happy Giant. In 1991, after the next repair tanker was renamed Jahre Viking. In 2004, the tanker was purchased by Singapore company and was subsequently used as a floating storage of oil in the waters of Qatar, at the same time the ship was called the Knock Nevis. In 2009, the ship was transported to India in Alang, where it was forcibly thrown stranded for disposal. In 2010, the ship was utilized.
2 Container Maersk Mc-Kinney Møller (400 m.)
Container «Maersk Mc-Kinney Moller» became the first in a series of 20 cargo ships series «Triple-E», ordered the corporation «Maersk Line». Giant named after the son of the founder of the company that owns the container.Arnold Maersk McKinney Moller and he led the family company from 1965 until 2003, was the richest Dane and lived 98 years. But the boat is designed for a service life of not more than 50 years.
The length of the container «Maersk Mc-Kinney Moller» is 399 meters, width - 59 meters, height - 73 meters. His sludge reaches 15.5 m. Vessel fitted with two engines rated at 43,000 hp each. The vessel can reach speeds up to 23 knots. If we make all the container in the line, we get a wall of 111 km.
The vessel was built at the shipyards of South Korea's Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering in Geoje (Gyeongnam Province). The company is the second largest shipbuilding company in the world. Huge container ship was laid down 27 November 2012, and from July 2013 to be in operation. The cost of the vessel is 190 million dollars.
Compared with previous similar vessels at Mærsk Mc-Kinney Møller 20% reduced fuel consumption by 50% and reduced carbon dioxide emissions. This makes it the most effective class of this vessel. Maximum speed - 23 knots.
3 Container CMA CGM Jules Verne (396 m.)
Container «CMA CGM Jules Verne» IMO: 9454450, flag France, home port of Marseille. Shipbuilder: company Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering, the city Goeje, South Korea. Owner and operator: The company CMA CGM, the city of Marseille, France.
The ship was named science fiction writer Jules Verne (CMA CGM Jules Verne). Key Features: Displacement 160,000 tons deadweight 186,470 tons.

The ship complies with the most stringent international environmental standards.
A little comparison:
- the length of more than four football fields, or the Eiffel Tower;
- engine generates enough energy for a city with a population of 16 thousand people,
- if the 16,000 TEU to put in a line, its length is 97 kilometers.
May 3, 2013 Container «CMA CGM Jules Verne» went on its maiden voyage from the port of Busan, South Korea, with the rotation of Busan, Qingdao, Ningbo, Shanghai, Xiamen, Chiwan, Yantian, Port Kelang, Suez, Malta, Marseilles, Tangier , Southampton, Hamburg, Bremerhaven, Rotterdam, Zeebrugge, Le Havre, Malta, Suez, Al Khor Fakkān, Jebel Ali, Port Kelang and Ningbo.
- 4 Container Emma Marsk (396 m.)
Emma Mærsk ("Emma Maersk") - the container ship owned by the Danish company AP Moller-Maersk Group and built at the shipyard Lindoe in Denmark, which is part of the company Odense Steel Shipyard Ltd in 2006 (later were built 7 more ships of the same type). At the time of construction of Emma Mærsk was the largest container ship in the world. Vessel length 396.84 meters, width of 63.1 meters and a height from keel to deck 30 meters. Displacement of 156,907 metric tons. Emma Mærsk can carry up to 11,000 standard 20-foot containers (other methods of calculation - more than 14 thousand.). Loading container «Emma Maersk» possible twenty giant cranes at the same time. By the way, despite the gigantstkim dimensions, the crew is just 13 people.
The vessel has an engine Wärtsilä-Sulzer 14RTFLEX96-C, currently the world's largest single diesel engine, weighs 2,300 tons, with a capacity of 109,000 horsepower (82 MW), which consumes 6291 liters of fuel a day. The vessel is equipped with some adaptations to reduce environmental damage, including heat recovery system and the combined production of heat and electricity. Maximum speed for the Emma Mærsk container is quite solid - 25.5 knots (more than 47 kilometers per hour).
In MO and holds installed 8000 sensors, information from which is sent to the computer center, located in the CPU of the engine room. Ponlostyu Center monitors the status of the vessel. Remote monitor center located on the bridge and in the center of cargo operations. Emma Maersk can carry up to 1000 40-foot refs. Containers designed for mounting a special attachment to ensure fast operation.
Environmental security is achieved thanks to the vessel catching heat, which helps to save up to 10% energy. But more importantly, due to the fact that the ship is three times the size of any container, which took place on the Panama Canal, the number of small vessels, which may replace it, would produce far more emissions than a single large vessel.
- 5 Container MSC Daniela (366 m.)
In mid-December 2008 at the shipyard Samsung Heavy Industry Shipyard in Geoje completed construction container - MSC Daniela. It was built by the Swiss-Italian shipowner Mediterranean Shipping Company (Mediterranean Shipping Company, MSC). Its container capacity is approximately 14,000 TEU.

This container is not only the size but also the design. To provide a better view from the bridge superstructure on it is placed in front of the ship, which also allows to increase the container capacity and reduce the number of received ballast. During the construction of the ship complied with international rules on the protection of fuel tanks: they are located in the protected area below the superstructure.
During the construction of the mega-container use special high-strength steel, which reduced the thickness of the skin, thus creating a lightweight and rugged design of the vessel and maintaining an acceptable level of body rigidity.
