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? |
