Very large crude carriers (VLCCs). These ships, with a length of some 330 metres (1,100 feet), have capacities between 200,000 and 320,000 dwt. They carry in the area of two million barrels.

Breakdown of Various Classifications of Oil Tankers

Size / Classification	Deadweight Tonnage (DWT)	Approx # of vessels[ii]
Aframax	75,000 – 120,000	~900
Suezmax	120,000 – 180,000	~600
VLCC	200,000 – 320,000	474
ULCC	320,000+	4056

VLCC refers to a class of large oil tanker, larger than Suezmax and smaller than ULCC. VLCC tankers are in the range of 200-320 DWT. They are used mostly for crude oil shipping, they but can also handle dirty products (residual fuel oil).

ULCC refers to the largest class of oil tanker, which is larger than VLCC. ULCC tankers are in the range of 320-560 DWT. They are used exclusively for crude oil shipping. ULCC crude tankers are typically used on long-haul routes.

When a moving oil tanker suddenly stops, the oil inside the tanker continues to be in the state of motion due to inertia of motion. Therefore, to prevent any overflow of the oil due to sudden start or stop of the tanker, some space is left vacant at the top while filling the tanker…

Overall, she is generally considered the largest self-propelled ship ever built….Seawise Giant.

Not only is Symphony of the Seas larger than Titanic, all of the Oasis Class cruise ships are larger than the Titanic in gross tonnage, as well as size. Symphony of the Seas measures 1,184 ft 5.0 inches in length and has a gross tonnage of 228,081.

The story of the tanker that was once known as the Seawise Giant is much less familiar, although it’s every bit as memorable. The largest ship ever built—she was nearly twice as long as the Titanic—actually sank, only to rise up from the ocean floor and sail again. Tung then named the beast the Seawise Giant.

But only a few of those were cruise ships. The Times notes that from 1980 to 2012, about 16 cruise ships have sunk. Typically, cruise ships that sink are those sailing in inhospitable waters, like the Antarctic Ocean, or ships belonging to smaller lines.

The Titanic had a gross tonnage of 46,000 which is less than all cruise ships in the modern Royal Caribbean cruise ship fleet….Titanic vs Modern Cruise Ships -Tonnage Comparison.

As you will soon see, conditions were not ideal. We know that the ark was bigger than a rowboat, but smaller than the Titanic. In fact, we know its exact size – it was 450 x 45 x 75 feet, with an approximate volume of 1,518,750 cubic feet. (Actually, it’s stated in cubits, not feet).

A team of evangelical Christian explorers claim they’ve found the remains of Noah’s ark beneath snow and volcanic debris on Turkey’s Mount Ararat (map). But some archaeologists and historians are taking the latest claim that Noah’s ark has been found about as seriously as they have past ones—which is to say not very.

The structure of the Ark (and the chronology of the flood) are homologous with the Jewish Temple and with Temple worship. Accordingly, Noah’s instructions are given to him by God (Genesis 6:14–16): the ark is to be 300 cubits long, 50 cubits wide, and 30 cubits high.

Gopher wood or gopherwood is a term used once in the Bible for the substance from which Noah’s ark was built. Although some English Bibles attempt a translation, older English translations, including the King James Version (17th century), leave it untranslated.

The Troyer Group, a construction firm in Mishawaka, Indiana, was contracted to oversee construction of the ark, which was constructed by Amish builders using traditional timber framing techniques. In total, over 1,000 craftsmen were employed in the ark’s construction.

Shem (/ʃɛm/; Hebrew: שֵׁם‎ Šēm; Arabic: سام‎, romanized: Sām) was one of the sons of Noah in the Hebrew Bible and the Islamic literature.

But the dove could find no place to set its feet because there was water over all the surface of the earth; so it returned to Noah in the ark. He reached out his hand and took the dove and brought it back to himself in the ark.

I establish my covenant with you: Never again will all life be cut off by the waters of a flood; never again will there be a flood to destroy the earth.” I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth.

You shall be circumcised in the flesh of your foreskins, and it shall be a sign of the covenant between me and you. God promised to make Abraham the father of a great people and said that Abraham and his descendants must obey God. In return God would guide them and protect them and give them the land of Israel.

In the Bible’s Genesis flood narrative, after creating a flood to wash away humanity’s corruption, God put the rainbow in the sky as the sign of his promise that he would never again destroy the earth with flood (Genesis 9:13–17):

Double rainbows are not only beautiful but also have significant meaning. Therefore, a single rainbow signifies a human descending from heaven to earth. A double rainbow, due to its reversal of colors, represents the movement from earth to heaven and is considered to be a sign of future success.

Rainbows are a symbol of hope in many cultures. They appear as perfect arcs, often during a rainstorm when the sun shines onto water droplets, shattering its white light into an array of brilliant colours.

The common rainbow is caused by sunlight internally reflected by the backs of falling raindrops, while also being refracted at the air/water boundary. The sunlight in this picture is coming from behind the observer, and the rainbows are in the rainstorm.
