400m long and 160m wide, capable of lifting 77,000 tonnes. This vessel would be able to work on the world's largest
oil rigs and should be in operation by 2020. The title of world's biggest ship is difficult to define, but the longest
floating vessel currently in operation is the Shell Prelude, a 488m long platform for liquefied natural gas anchored in
a South Korean port. However, the vessel is unable to propel itself, leading to questions as to whether it can actually

each of which is 399 m in length.
The slot in the bow is having a length of 122 mtr and width of 59 mtr
