What is the current largest ship in the world today?

Answer 1

The largest ship in the world is the supertanker TI Asia, and her twins (TI Africa, TI Europe and TI Oceania) at 234,000 Gross Tonnage. 379 meters long.

The second current largest ship is Oasis of the Seas and her twin, Allure of the Seas, at 225,000 Gross Tonnage. 360 meters long.

Although Emma Maersk is longer (396 meters) the measurement of size for merchant ships is the total volume (Gross Tonnage), and Emma Maersk is 170,000 GT.

Answer 2

The largest cruise ship in the world today is known to be Independence of the Seas, a Royal Caribbean ship and has a gross tonnage of 154,407. In late 2009, Royal Caribbean will launch their next ship, Oasis of the Seas, which will be larger than Independence of the Seas by 40%. Oasis of the Seas has a gross tonnage of 220,000. Though, really Knock Nevis, a oil tanker is the largest ship currently which has a gross tonnage of 260,941.

Answer 3

It'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.
