Are there ships currently bigger then Titanic?

Yes, way bigger: The Titanic was built in 1912 and was 269 mts in lentgh with 52.000 tons. The Knock Nevis is today´s biggest ship. She´s a Norwegian oil Supertanker: built between 1979 and 1981 by Sumitomo Corp. Its length is 458 mts and it weighs 564.763 tons (tar). With a full load, the hull sinks about 25 meters under the surface, so it cannot sail the channel and cannot go through the Panama and Suez canal. Check the pictures: http://supertankers.topcities.com/id132.… She was known under different names (Seawise Giant, Happy Giant y Jahre Viking) before to end up as the Knock Nevis. It sails under the flag of Singapore.
