The longest ship in the world is no longer the Sea Giant. It is 488 meters long, which is larger than the Ford-class aircraft carrier.
In modern society, there are many means of transportation between regions, of which the ship has the largest transportation volume. The pursuit of carrying capacity sacrifices sailing speed. The largest ship in the world is now PreludeFLNG of the Dutch Shell Oil Company. Prior to this, the largest ship in the world was the Sea Giant cruise ship, which had a length of 458 meters and a deadweight of 820,000 tons. The "Shell" cruise ship is 30 meters longer than the Sea Giant cruise ship, reaching a staggering 488 meters, once again setting the world's largest ship record.
What caught our attention is that the world’s largest cruise ship, the Sea Giant, has been dismantled and turned into a pile of broken copper. However, PreludeFLNG of Dutch Shell Oil Company was built in 2013 by South Korea's Samsung Heavy Industries shipyard. The vessel is 488 meters long, 74 meters wide, and 105 meters high. The draft data is currently unknown. The PreludeFLNG ship weighs 260,000 tons and has a load of 300,000 tons, which is equivalent to ten Liaoning ships. In such a comparison, its carrying capacity is much lower than that of the Sea Giant cruise ship.
PreludeFLNG of Dutch Shell Petroleum Company is not really a cruise ship, because it only has a 6700 horsepower diesel generator. And it currently does not have autonomous navigation capabilities. PreludeFLNG should not be translated as "floating liquefied natural gas plant". At the end of last year, it was working in a natural gas field off Australia and is currently in trial operation. When it officially operates, it will produce 5.3 million tons of fuel annually. This processing efficiency is indeed much faster than ordinary machinery. But the safety of PreludeFLNG is a big problem. Because the ship is huge and can hold a huge amount of liquefied natural gas, condensate oil and petroleum gas, once an explosion occurs, it will bring unpredictable harm. Some experts say that the explosive power of this ship is equivalent to 10-15 times the power of the atomic bomb dropped by the United States during World War II. Relevant departments of the Australian government indicated that they would increase their daily inspections and safety supervision of this vessel to prevent possible crisis situations.
Dutch Shell Oil Company’s PreludeFLNG has no self-propelled capability, so there is no question of speed. From this perspective, although this ship is currently the longest ship in the world, it is not a real ship. In the future, longer ships may appear to break the current record.

The maximum length of ocean freighter is How many
freighters have sailed on the ocean for thousands of years. It enables people to trade between different parts of the world. Today, a large number of different types of cargo ships sail on the sea, from large oil tankers to small tugboats, from car ferries to ships specially designed to search for damaged ships. Let’s take a look at the maximum length of ocean freighters.
China’s current largest freighter is China Shipping Global, which is 400 meters long and 60 meters wide. It is the largest container ship in the world. Stability is a difficult problem in the design of ocean-going cargo ships. Because the freeboard is low when the load reaches the structural draught and the armored cargo is loaded, the maximum static stability arm corresponding angle is often less than 30°, and the stability vanishing angle is less than 55° If it is not easy to satisfy, consider taking into account the buoyancy of the hatch part to solve the problem. When lowering the armor plate cargo. The center of gravity, pressurized water is required during the voyage. When a fully loaded container is ¨inches, light weight, small draught, high freeboard, and the shape of the static stability curve is easy to meet the requirements; but the requirements for the high initial stability corrected by the free liquid surface to be greater than 0.15m are not easy to meetWith the influence of icing, the center of gravity is increased, and the initial stability is high, making it difficult to meet the requirement of 0.15m. There should be sufficient ballast tank capacity.
Because the load capacity of cargo ships does not vary greatly (most of the ocean-going ships are between 12,000 and 15,000 tons, and the larger ones are only around 25,000 tons), the market demand is large, and the number of orders is relatively stable, so shipyards can use assembly lines for mass production In this way, not only the cost is reduced, but the construction quality is stable and reliable, and the delivery time is short.
thousand-ton freighter has a length of 30-50m and a width of 8-12m;
three thousand-ton freighter has a length of 80m, a width of 13.5m, and a draft of about 5.5m;
a five thousand-ton freighter has a length of 98m, a width of 16.0m, and a draft of 5.0-7.0 m;
10,000-ton freighter has a length of 120m, a width of 23.0m, and a draft of 5.0～7.0m; (Ocean-going vessels generally 10,000-ton level)
a 10,000-ton freighter has a length of 220m, a width of 23.0m, and a draft of 8.0～11.0m;
is 50,000 tons Class freighter is 246m in length, 32.0m in width and 9.0～12.0m in draft;
100,000-ton freighter is 260m in length, 33.0m in width and 12.0～16.0m in draft;
200,000 ton freighter is 290m in length, 45.0m in width and 17.0 in draft ～18.0m;
300,000-ton cargo ship has a length of 490m, a width of 75.0m, and a draft of 19.0～23.0m;
ship introduction
bulk carrier:
is a ship that carries bulk cargo as the name implies. Ocean bulk carrier is generally divided into three Kind, Panamax, Suez Canal and CAPESIZE. The
Panama Canal type ship is a ship that can pass through the Panama Canal. Generally, there are five large warehouses with a length of about 224 meters and a deadweight of about 70,000 tons. The
Suez Canal ship is a ship that can cross the Suez Canal. It is usually seven large warehouses with a length of about 245 meters and a deadweight of about 90,000 tons. The
CAPESIZE ship cannot pass through the Panama Canal and the Suez Canal, but can only go around the Cape of Good Hope at the southern tip of Africa and Cape Horn at the southern tip of the Americas. The English Cape is CAPE, so it is called CAPESIZE.
tanker:
tanker is a ship that carries crude oil. Generally, ocean-going tankers are relatively large in size. The largest I have ever seen is 333 meters long and 300,000 tons. There are relatively few tankers under 240 meters, and may be small tonnage tankers. The reason for the poor economic efficiency of long-distance transportation. The difference between tankers and bulk carriers is mainly in the structure and distribution of the cabins. Several cabins of the bulk carrier are lined up in the length direction. The tanker is divided into three compartments horizontally and lined up longitudinally. Generally there are about 20 cabins. In addition, the tanker’s cabin is airtight, and access is made through airtight oil hatches. The ballast capacity of the tanker is more than 10 times that of the bulk carrier. The ropes of the tanker are all steel cables. Fire is prohibited on the whole ship except the living area. The power of the tanker's twisting rope can only be pneumatic or hydraulic.
LPG ship:
LPG ship: also known as a chemical tanker, a special ship for the transportation of chemicals. Generally, the medium is: soybean oil, peanut oil, palm oil, toluene, xylene, syrup, etc., and its structure is very similar to that of tankers. I have seen The structure of the chemical tanker in China is the same as that of the tanker, but the main scale of the ship is much smaller, the small one is 160 to 70 meters, and the large one is 180 to 90 meters. LNG ship: also known as liquefied gas ship , Special ships used to load liquefied petroleum gas, the large cabins are very special, except for the large cabins of the hull structure, the contents of the liquefied gas tanks, each tank varies from several thousand tons, the pipe wall is made of special stainless steel, high corrosion resistance, and very thick , Can withstand pressure of more than 180 kg per square centimeter. The structure of the other parts is basically the same as that of the bulk carrier, but the ship structure around the liquefied gas tank is made of special steel, which can withstand low temperatures of minus 40 degrees. This type of ship is a high-value-added cutting-edge product. At present, its core technology is monopolized by France and Japan, and no one can replace it.
container ship:
container ship can be divided into full container ship and semi-container ship. Its structure and shape are obviously different from conventional cargo ships. It has a long and narrow shape, a single deck, a straight upper deck, and the cargo hatch is 70%-80% of the ship's width. The superstructure is located at the stern or behind the middle to allow more decks to stack containers. The deck is stacked for 2-4. 3-9 layers of containers can be stacked in the cabin. Container ships have high loading and unloading speeds and short docking times. Most of them use high speeds, usually 20-23 nautical miles per hour. In recent yearsIn order to save energy, the economic speed is generally adopted, about 18 knots. Container ships sailing short distances along the coast have a speed of only about 10 knots. In recent years, about 70%-90% of groceries imported and exported from the United States, Britain, Japan and other countries are transported in containers. The ship price is very high. According to the development of container ships,
can be divided into first, second, third, fourth and fifth generation container ships:
first-generation container ships appeared in the 1960s, and 17000-20000 gross tonnage container ships across the Pacific and Atlantic can be Load 700-1000TEU. The second-generation container ship
appeared in the 1970s. The container load of the 40,000-50,000 gross tonnage container ship increased to 1800-2000 TEU, and the speed was increased from 23 knots in the first generation to 26-27 knots. The third-generation container ship of
appeared since the oil crisis in 1973. The speed of this generation of ships has been reduced to 20-22 knots. However, due to the increased hull size and improved transportation efficiency, the number of containers loaded has reached 3000 TEU. Therefore, The third-generation ship is an energy-efficient ship. The fourth-generation container ship of
appeared in the late 1980s. The speed of container ships has further increased. The maximum size of container ships is based on the ability to pass the Panama Canal. The total number of containers loaded has increased to 4,400. Due to the use of high-strength steel, the weight of the ship has been reduced by 25%; the development of high-power diesel engines has greatly reduced fuel costs, and the increase in ship automation has reduced the number of crew members and further improved the economy of container ships.
The fifth-generation container ship is the pioneer of the fifth-generation container ship. The five APLC-10 containers built by German shipyards can carry 4800TEU. The length/width ratio of this container ship is 7~8, which makes the ship resilient Increased, known as the fifth-generation container ship.
sixth-generation container ship The Rehina Maersk container ship, completed in the spring of 1996, can carry up to 8000 TEU. Six of this type of ship has been built. People say that this class of container ship kicked off the sixth-generation container ship. According to relevant predictions, in the near future, a huge ship capable of loading 10,000 containers will appear in Europe.
Panamax (PANAMAX SHIP) dry bulk carrier (BULK CARRIER), container ship (ConTAINER SHIP), oil tanker (OIL TANKER) all have Panamax, but each is different.
1. Panamax bulk carrier: refers to a dry bulk carrier that can pass through the Panama Canal, has a draft of 13 meters, and a 60,000-80,000 dwt. As the name suggests, this type of ship refers to the largest bulk carrier that can pass through the Panama Canal under full load, that is, it mainly meets the relevant regulations for navigation of the canal with a total length of no more than 274.32 meters and a width of no more than 32.30 meters. According to needs, adjust the ship's dimensions, ship type and structure to change the load capacity.
2. Panamax full container ships are also called fifth-generation container ships, with a carrying capacity between 4500-6000 TEU.
3. Panamax tanker Oil tankers with a load capacity of 60,000 to 80,000 tons become Panamax tankers. The
