About this converter
Seawise Giant and Mont share one hull at 564763 deadweight tons, the largest ship ever with the double count flagged. Batillus and Prairial at 550000 each, Esso Atlantic at about 500000, TI Asia, Africa, Europe and Oceania at 441000 each and Olympic Loyalty at about 350000 for scale follow. Deadweight counts cargo plus fuel and stores a ship can lift. Lengths and TEU slots rank on separate ship pages, so meters and boxes stay out here. Bulk carriers rank on a separate page since cargoes differ.
How to use it
Pick two tankers and a unit in the top row. The three boxes below stay linked. Change any box and the other two update. Try Seawise Giant against Olympic Loyalty to see the near double gap. The bars below scale to Seawise Giant so Olympic Loyalty looks short. Switch the unit to thousands for short figures. Ratios are exact divisions of the deadweights.
Mont is Seawise Giant renamed after refits, so the same hull appears twice with that flagged. TI class four sisters tie at 441000. Figures follow owner deadweight specs. Scrapping removes hulls, so active lists shrink. Bulk carriers rank elsewhere since cargoes differ.
