The Biggest ship on the planet I don't think so. In the 90 ties the Gordie's built the Million Ton Tanker. I am lead to believe.

Re: Largest ship on the planet
What is the largest ship??
Sometimes by tonnage and also by measurement.
I thought the QM2 was the biggest passenger ship by dimensions, length, beam and draught etc.
but by tonnage other cruise ship are "bigger", but that is volumetric tonnage.
A container ship seems to be measured by the number of containers it can carry .
Oh gotta go SHE IS CALLING
SHE has found me a job to do.
call later.
Cheers
