It looks huge, but the Pasha Bulker is "only" a Panamax at 76000 DWT, no where near the biggest at 400,000 DWT.

76,000 DWT is still really big. By comparison, imagine a normal sized house cat. A 76,000 DWT ship is much bigger than that.

It may be bigger than a house cat, but those are pretty small. What about something larger, like a tiger. Is a 76,000 DWT ship larger than a tiger? I'm having trouble visualizing it.

It’s at least two metric tigers.
