Depending on design requirements, some ships have extremely large internal volumes in order to serve their duties. Gross tonnage is a monotonic and 1-to-1 function of the ship's internal structural volume. It does not include removable objects placed outside the deck or superstructure, like the shipping containers of a container ship.

CMA CGM is a French shipping and logistics company founded in 1978 by Jacques Saadé.
The Triple E class is a family of very large container ships with a capacity of more than 18,000 TEUs, which are owned and operated by Maersk Line.
The FPSO Kwame Nkrumah is a floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) vessel. It operates in the Jubilee oil fields off the coast of Ghana. She is named after the first president of Ghana Kwame Nkrumah.
CMA CGM Marco Polo is a Bahamas-registered container ship of the Explorer class owned by the CMA CGM group. On 6 November 2012, it became the largest container ship in the world measured by capacity, but was surpassed on 24 February 2013 by the Maersk Triple E class, which is 4 metres (13.1 ft) longer at precisely 400m in length.
The Jacques Saadé class is a group of nine container ships each with a capacity of 23,000 TEUs built by the China State Shipbuilding Corporation (CSSC) for French shipping company CMA CGM. Construction on the first two began in July 2018 in Shanghai by Jiangnan Shipyard and Hudong-Zhonghua Shipbuilding. The first ship was launched in September 2019. The first ship was delivered on 22 September 2020. The first two ships were originally expected to be delivered in 2019, but they have been delivered in September and October 2020 after a delay of at least 10 months by China State Shipbuilding Corporation (CSSC).
The Gülsün class is a series of container ships built for Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC). The largest ships have a maximum theoretical capacity of 23,756 twenty-foot equivalent units (TEU). They were the largest container ships in the world when they were launched in 2019, surpassing OOCL Hong Kong. They have since been surpassed by other ships like the Algeciras class. The ships were the first container ships to feature 24 containers wide on deck.
The Universe class is a series of 6 container ships built for COSCO SHIPPING Lines. The ships have a maximum theoretical capacity of 21,237 TEU. They are some of the largest container ships ever built and was the second class of ships to exceed 21,000 TEU of capacity after the OOCL G-class. At the time they were also the largest Chinese built container ships.
The Hanjin Sooho class is a series of 9 container ships built for the now defunct Hanjin Shipping. The ships were built by Hyundai Heavy Industries in South Korea. The ships have a maximum theoretical capacity of around 13,102 twenty-foot equivalent units (TEU).
The Argentina class is a series of 22 container ships built for Eastern Pacific Shipping and operated by CMA CGM. The ships have a maximum theoretical capacity of 15,052 TEU. The ships were built by Hyundai Samho Heavy Industries. The first five ships are powered by conventional engines and are equipped with scrubbers. The remaining ships will be powered by LNG instead.
