List of largest ships by gross tonnage

This is a list of some of the world's largest ships by gross tonnage. Gross tonnage is a monotonic and 1-to-1 function of the ship's internal structural volume, and does not include removable objects placed outside the deck or superstructure, like the shipping containers of a container ship.

This is a dynamic list and may never be able to satisfy particular standards for completeness. You can help by expanding it with reliably sourced entries.
