The international shipping industry plays a significant role in the world of trade today. Throughout all these years, the world has produced many big container ships. In this article, we’ll be listing the top ten world’s biggest cargo ships in the world. It is important to know that Sea cargo makes around 85% or more of the movement of goods worldwide with over 50, 000 of these merchant cargo ships including tankers, bulk carriers, and container ships currently involved in the shipping business. However, Container ships have since changed the way freight transport business is conducted since their entry into the market.

The MSC OSCAR container ship built by Daewoo Shipbuilding and Marine Engineering Company comes first on our list weighing in at 197,362 DWT.
