Do you wonder how looks the largest ship in the world? Do you think that it is sailing? How it looks, what it is? I'll give you an answer to all of your questions, and will show you the largest ship in the world. This is TI Europe.
  The ships like this are called ULCC (Ultra Large Crude Carrier). The ship is wearing crude oil and petrol from the Persian Bay to USA and Western Europe ports. Ships like this are very interesting in engineering point of view. They are too big and too heavy to even think that they will be sure over the water. But this kind of ships are one of the most secure and most stable while sailing through the oceans.
  The ship TI Europe is part of 4 sister ships - TI Asia, TI Oceania, TI Africa. The vessels are built from the companies Euronav and Overseas Shipholding Group(OSG). Previously the 4 sisteships were known as Hellespont Tara, Hellespont Fairfax, Hellespont Alhambra and Hellespont Metropolis, but when they were preowned by Tanker International (TI), were renamed.
  The vessel TI Europe was built in 2002. The lenght of the ship is 380 m, the breadth is 68 m, the depth is 34 m and draught is 24.5 m. The capacity of the vessel TI Europe is 3.2 millions barels. The deadweight of TI Europe is the amasing 441,893 tons. This makes this vesel absolute leader in shipping and I will name it the master of 7 seas. the optimal speed of TI Europe is 16.5 knots laden and 17.5 knots in ballast. This vessel is one of the best ways to trasort your cargo from the one point of the world to another. The ship has only restricted ports that it can stay, because more of the ports don't have enought draught.
