How much can I buy a 1000 foot cargo freighter for?

I want a cargo ship as a home and I want to know how much it is. I will probably not end up buying one but I can always hope in the back of my mind that there is one somewhere.

unless you have endless amounts of cash for the rest of your life go buy a house boat and be happy most freighters are 600 to 800 ft. 1000 ft.ships need assist tugs just to navigate the mississippi river so unless you have deep water and a very large body of water and a licsense ship captain and a ship pilot to put it on location get the house boat an empty ship that size has at the very least 20 to 30 ft.draft to be stable.How much can I buy a 1000 foot cargo freighter for?
Boats or vessel prices are in a state of constant flux. The average vessel sells for about $10 a foot now. 26' vessel, $26,000.


You would be better off and more sea worthy getting 10- 100' barges and using them as they are designed to be used.


Would save a whole bunch of cash and is also less materail watse.


A 1000' vessel on its own would require (x) amount of draft and (y) of beam to be a stable vessel.In this case (x) would be deeper than an aircraft carrier, and (y) would be about as wide.


The link gives you a rough idea of the beam and draft.


Second link gives you an idea of whom to contact.


Those types of projects are bids. even a 1000' or ten 100' barges can be purchased on a bid basis, if one looks hard enough.


Looks like the US gov eeven pays to have some vessels removed or salvaged, so that is a win/win situation.


Now you need a Slavage Lisence.
You can get one pretty cheap from some somali pirates!
Why not call some ship brokers, dear. Most people don't sell them at yard sales.





Good luck finding a place to put it.
