In 1959 the 114,356 dwt âUniverse Apolloâ became the first tanker to pass the 100,000-ton figure: within a decade ships five times that size were being planned. The biggest oil tankers were built in the 1970s after the 1973 oil crisis. Thus a new generation of tanker was born, the VLCCs (Very Large Crude Carriers) and the ULCCs (Ultra Large Crude Carriers). The biggest oil tanker and biggest ship ever constructed â âSeawise Giantâ was built in 1979.
To give the reader an idea of the fuel efficiency of large cruise ships, I'd like to use the world's largest cruise liner as an example. The MS Oasis of the Seas, completed in 2010, has a total length of 361.8 meters, a height of 72 meters above the sea line, and room in its 16 passenger decks for 6,296 passengers.
