Seawise
Giant Ultra Tanker. The seawise giant created by Shetter. Sept 10, 2010.
Seawise
giant, later the Happy Giant, Jahre Viking, and Knock Nevis, was a ULCC
Supertanker and the longest ship ever built, and possessed the greatest
deadweight tonnage ever recorded.
Fully laden, her displacement was 657,019
tonnes (646,642 LT; 724,239 ST), the heaviest ship of any kind, and with a
draft of 24.6 m (81 ft), she was incapable of navigating the English Channel, the
Suez Canal or the Panama Canal. Overall, she was generally considered the
largest ship ever built. She was last used as a floating storage and offloading
unit (FSO). Moored off the coast of Qatar
in the Persian Gulf at the Al Shaheen Oil
Field.
The vessel was sold to Indian shipbreakers, and renamed Mont for her final
journey in December 2009. After clearing Indian customs, she was sailed to, and
intentionally beached at Alang, Gujarat ,
India for
demolition.
