∙ 8y agoIt's slightly ambiguous; ships can be the largest by length or displacement weight (DWT), the largest ship ever was Seawise Giant - which was broken up in 2009 and that was the largest by both measures - it was 458.46m long and weighed 564,650 tonnes.
The longest ship at the moment (2015) is probably CSCL Globe, which is 406.57m long. There are four ships in the TI Class which have the highest DWT of 441,585 tonnes.
