And again - the world's largest container ship "MSC Oscar"
Of course, over time, the title of the largest ship in the world passes from one to another. The last time I told you about it, however today this is no longer the case.
In January 2015, the world's longest container ship, CSCL Globe, made its maiden voyage from China to Europe. It was built at the South Korean shipyard Hyundai Heavy Industries and is owned by the Chinese China companies Shipping Container Lines. Although the ship is the largest of the container ships (it could host 400m races), it is inferior in carrying capacity to another giant: the MSC Oscar, which was also recently built in South Korea for an Italian company and can transfer 124 more containers. The difference is small, but the Chinese container ship is longer and has the most powerful engine in the world: a MAN diesel engine with a capacity of 77,200 hp is hidden in the engine compartment of the vessel. With. and a height of 17.2 m. Korean shipbuilders are not going to stop there and predict the emergence of new giant container ships.
Let's take a closer look at it...

And now, not even two months have passed - new record. On January 25, 2015, another giant set off on its first commercial voyage from the Chinese port of Dalian - "MSC Oscar", which took away from its predecessor the right to be considered the largest container ship in the world.
Container ship "MSC Oscar" also built in South Korea, but at a different shipyard - Daewoo Shipbuilding and Marine Engineering in the city of Okpo.

Gross tonnage– 193,000 GRT, deadweight – 197,362 tons. It is envisaged that 1,800 containers can be refrigerated – it is possible to connect them to the ship’s electrical network.
Baptism ceremony "MSC Oscar" took place on January 8, 2015 in the South Korean city of Okpo. The supercontainer ship then moved to the port of Busan, and on January 13 anchored in the Russian Slavyanka Bay in the Primorsky Territory. A modern production and logistics complex is now being created there to organize the work of an international transport corridor. "Primorye-2".
