Lengths of Scrapped Ships 

 
The rankings would change if these scrapped ships are included in the list. 
 
Next to the Seawise Giant, Batillus and Esso Atlantic, the longest scrapped ship was the N.A.I. Superba. It was 381.9 m (1,253 ft) long with a DWT of 409,400 DWT. Next would be the Berge Emperor class. It was 380.8 m (1,249 ft) long. The DWT was 423,700. 
 
Number five would be the Globtik Tokyo class. It was 378.9 m (1,243 ft) long with a DWT of 484,000. Number six would be the Esso Mediterranean. Its length was 378.4 m (1,241 ft). The DWT was 456,368. All these ships were supertankers. 
 
The status of the world’s longest ship may change any time. Today, ships are becoming larger and larger to accommodate the demands of passengers and cargo. This is particularly true of the cruise ships and the supertankers.
