And want to see more Ships information?
Do you know the answers of all questions, because
these are the main questions, which every engineer lover is asking
himself. And on this website we will try to answer to all of your
questions. We will try to explain everything about Knock Nevis,
or better known as Jahre Viking or Seawise Giant. This is the
vessel with logest history and very good known, because this is
the largest super-tanker of the world. This is Knock Nevis.
The term "super-tanker" is known in our
language as large ship, but in technical language the term is
ULCC (Ultra Large Crude Carrier), vessel with pretty large measurements
and deadweight more than 300,000 metric tons. And the vessel,
which we are trying to intruduce to your attention - Knock Nevis
is the largest in this category. The deadweight of Knock Nevis
is 565,000 metric tons and the length of the vessel is 458 meters.
You can imagine about the measurements of the vessel, just about
the deadweight and length of the vessel. because, when we heard
about half a kilometer length of such vessel it is some really
interesting fact. The vessel Knock Nevis has a beam of 69 meters
and draft of 26.4 meters, while the vessel is fully loaded with
cargo.
Isn't it really large ship? |
