On November 13, 2010, Royal Caribbean International's Allure of the Seas cruise ship arrived at Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, from Finland. This cruise ship is the "sister" of the "Oasis of the Seas", which entered service in 2009. "Allure of the Seas" and "Oasis of the Seas" share the same design in many respects. Both have a height of 213 feet (about 65 meters) above the waterline. They have 16 decks and can accommodate 5,400 tourists. crew members More than 2,000 people. In theory, their hull length is 1,184 feet (about 360 meters), but technically speaking, the "Allure of the Seas" is about 2 inches (about 5 centimeters) longer than the "Oasis of the Seas ", which is exactly that. just 2 inches makes it the largest cruise ship in the world. "Oasis of the Seas" launched its maiden voyage in November 2009. When sailing on the sea, it looks like a“traveling city”. The "Oasis of the Seas" cost 700 million pounds. It is 360 meters long, 47 meters wide, 72 meters high and has a displacement of 220,000 tonnes. It is three times larger than the "Titanic" and larger than the "Freedom". of the Seas", currently the largest cruise ship in the world. "No" also weighed 60,000 tonnes. The Nok Nevis can hold almost 650,000 cubic meters of crude oil (nearly 4.1 million barrels) and uses its 3.5-inch-thick double-hull technology developed by Sumitomo Shipbuilding to prevent accidental leakage of crude oil into the environment. However, the ship's draft when fully loaded exceeds 24 meters, so that. it cannot cross the world's major waterways at shallow depths, such as artificial waterways such as the Panama Canal and the Suez Canal, or even the English Channel. Moreover, due to draft. as deep, the Knock Nevis cannot enter most major ports around the world when fully loaded and requires special connection facilities to discharge crude oil directly offshore.
Although it is the largest ship in the world, thanks to its highly automated design and computer support, the Knock Nevis can sail smoothly with only 35 to 40 crew members.
