Pieter Schelte will no longer be the largest ship in the world.

The ship's width 124 metres long and 382 yards-or throughout the Empire Statebuilding in New York, United States.

Designed to help the offshore oil platforms, she mentioned construction cost as much as $ 2.97 billion.

Pieter Schelte ordered to Allseas Switzerland created by the company that specializes in the installation of offshore pipelines and subsea construction.

By working with the port of Rotterdam, the ship will be taken to Maasvlakte 2, which is an additional area of the port where a special place has been provided to accommodate the ship.

After all is done, the ship will sail to the South Stream project across the Black Sea to install a pipeline there.

The ship will be used to install and revoke the oil and gas platforms off the coast andalso to install pipe.

Already have a rival

Allseas says the Pieter Schelte, made by Daewoo Heavy Industries in South Korea will be able to transport the charge as much as 48,000 tons.

However, this ship is not going to be the biggest for a long time.

The reason, Allseas says they are already planning to build more ships, measuring the length of 400 metres and a width of 160 meters.

The ship was planned to be capable of transporting 77,000 tons, and will be able to work in the world's largest oil platform and will be operational by 2020. (BBC)
