The largest ship in the world sails away early Saturday from the port of Rotterdam. The pioneering spirit of the Swiss-Dutch offshore company Allseas sail at 5.30 am Princess Alexiahaven for the first job at sea. But what’s great? Metro put the numbers for you here.

382

 No less than 382 meters long and 124 meters wide, the pioneering spirit. These dimensions are equal to two supertankers. To make the picture even more, eight football fields. The vessel can be deployed in order to dismantle drilling platforms, but also to lay pipelines. The engine gives a power off of 136,000 horsepower. Our Max Verstappen has to do it for example with “only” 850 hp. An average Corsa has 70 hp.

571

 To a ship 24 hours a day talking to keep, is considerable crew needed to be precise 571 people. In addition to technicians and engineers you should also think of cooks and cleaning staff. To give a peek into the kitchen, his daily meals there in 1580 needed. Due to the size of the ship running staff an average of 10 kilometers a day.

2.6

 The cost to build this ship amount to 2.6 billion euros. After eighteen months outfitting jobs can sail the ship for the first job. A funny detail of the builder, there are several aquariums on board. The ship is in fact so stable that the water is cool enough for the fish. Even if pipelines are laid or a platform is lifted.

48,000

 The cranes on the ship can lift at one time 48,000 tons. Handy if you want to move oil platforms. Earlier did that in parts and that lasted longer and that costs money. Incidentally, it was called first vessel Pieter Schelte, but there was commotion on as the namesake of the war was involved in the German Waffen-SS.

70,000

 During the stay of eighteen months in the Rotterdam Princess Alexiahaven the ship was a real attraction for visitors of Future, the information center on the Maasvlakte. More than 70,000 visitors took a tour around the ship. Saturday is a special uitzwaairondvaart with breakfast for 15 euros. You should only have to report at 5.00 pm and book in advance.
