– what is the limit to how big a ship can really be?

725 views

I recently read an article that the Royal Caribbean have just given the go ahead for the largest ever cruise liner to set sail, it’s nearly 1200ft long and has something ridiculous like 5 water slides and a zoo on it (maybe that’s an exaggeration, but you get the point).

It got me thinking – is there a ceiling to how large a boat can be? Does buoyancy have a limit? If you ignored the impracticality of mooring and getting into smaller bodies of water, is the capacity of Ship building limitless?

The biggest issue for ship size is where you put them. Shipping ports are constantly upgrading to allow larger and larger ship. But if there are currently no points that can handle your ship, you can’t do anything with it.
