The Pangeos is an itinerant floating city, comprising various hotels, shopping centers, parks, ship and aircraft ports, and all other facilities needed to house up to 60,000 guests in the middle of the sea.
The terayacht takes its name from Pangea, the supercontinent that existed millions of years ago during the late Paleozoic and early Mesozoic eras.
Pangeos is 550 meters (1,800 ft) long and measures 610 meters (2,000 ft) at its widest point — the wings.
If realized, the vessel will become the world’s largest floating structure ever built.
The Terayacht idea started in the 2009 while the designer Pierpaolo Lazzarini conceived a giga yacht structure capable to host an entire city.
At the moment, Pangeos is just a concept, but it’s on its way to become something more than a computer animation.
The Pangeos will be equipped with 9 HTS engines. Each motor is full electric, and it’s capable of 16,800hp each.
Obtaining the necessary energy from the various in-board energy sources, the megastructure will be able to cruise at 5 knots.
The hull is subdivided in about 30,000 cells.
This space provide an unsinkable floating solution for the basement, which is composed by cluster compartments and connected by corridors.
The floating structure, subdivides the spaces in different blocks, and it’s capable to guest up to 60,000 accommodations.
The impressive size of the Pangeos structure creates an unlimited possibility in terms of layout and facilities.
Pangeos will be perpetually itinerant around our planet Earth.
To construct the terayacht — the biggest floating structure ever built on the planet — an estimated $8 billion will be needed, with a timeline of approximately eight years.
The Terayacht needs a Terashipyard: this involves the realization of a specific shipyard/dam infrastructure, that floods levitating the terayacht when it will be launched (Est 2033).
The imagined Terashipyard infrastructure is 650 meters wide and 600 meters long, providing direct access to the sea.
