Which of the giants we have already estimated
The largest ship for the transportation of livestock.
The largest container ship in the world
But in general our selection just interesting ships and shipwrecks here. Returning to our giant.
The most outstanding invention of mankind is the oil tanker. The word itself comes from the English word «tank» - tank. Offshore tanker is a ship designed for the transport of liquid cargo (oil, acid, vegetable oil, molten sulfur, etc.) in the ship's tanks (tanks). These sea-going ships come in various sizes, but some of them are a special type - supertankers. These are the largest ships tankers of this kind. They can carry in one trip by 50 percent more oil than others, and operating costs for bunkering, crew, insurance and only 15 per cent more, which allows oil companies, the vessel is chartered to increase your profits and save savings. Such oil tankers always be in demand.
Supertankers - a product of the technological revolution of our time. They did not have any particular inventor and the development of science and technology has become possible to develop them. On oil tankers were tested longitudinal system of the ship, the engine room and all add-ons have been moved to the stern. And the most important thing in their construction began widespread use of electric welding in shipbuilding, which later became the only way to connect the hull structures of metal.
Knock Nevis, a supertanker, which bore the names at different times of their existence: Jahre Viking, Happy Giant and Seawise Giant.
Knock Nevis has a length of 458.45 meters, so to turn the tanker in the opposite direction you need at least 2 km, if the reversal was carried out with the help of tugs. The vessel has a width of 68.8 meters, which is to present the best - that's about the width of a football field.
On the upper deck of the ship might be located 5.5 football fields.
It is the largest in the history of the world ever created by the current ship. It has its drawbacks, which in fact, determined the short existence of the tanker. His 24.6 meters of sediment - is, by comparison, is more than the standard 7-storey house.
The ship could not pass the Suez and the Panama Canal because of the enormous size, moreover he was not allowed to pass through the English Channel, in view of the risk of running aground.
Seawise Giant was the largest ship built in the 20th century. But the giant was built before the era of double-hulled tankers, which began with an accident Exxon Valdez. It is unlikely that new tankers will exceed the size of Seawise Giant, likely palm intercept floating cities - real floating city with housing, offices, and all other things, that there is in the city. Some projects such ships are already being developed.
Seawise Giant started to build in 1979, at the request of the Greek tycoon, but he went bankrupt as a result of the oil embargo of the 70s. Hong Kong tycoon bought the ship Tung, and financed its completion. However, Tung insisted that deadweight was increased from 480000 to 564763 tons, making Seawise Giant and became the world's largest ship. The tanker was put into operation in 1981, and at first was carrying oil from the Gulf of Mexico fields. He was then transferred to the transportation of oil from Iran. There, in the Gulf, and it sank.
In 1986, during the Iran-Iraq war in the Strait of Hormuz tanker Exocet missiles attacked and sank the aircraft Iraqi Air Force. The Iraqi fighter fired a unique tanker, which was then almost in the Persian Gulf (or rather - in the Strait Strait of Hormuz, which lies between Iran and the UAE, leading to the Gulf) anti-ship missile Exocet.
It sank in shallow waters near the island of Kharg, so in August 1988, it picked up and brought to the repair shipyard Keppel Shipyard in Singapore, the new owner, Norman International. Repairers replaced 3.7 tons crumpled steel.
Most likely, the company bought, raised and repaired tanker mainly for prestige. Renovated Seawise Giant was renamed Happy Giant. By 1999, he again changed the host name - it was bought by Norwegian Jahare Wallem and renamed Jahre Viking.
In March 2004, the giant has a new host, First Olsen Tankers. The time is different, and given the age of the tanker, he decided to convert to FSO - Floating system for storing and loading, the shipyards of Dubai. After the modification, he was named Knock Nevis, and was then placed in an FSO to Al Shaheen field in Qatar waters.
Specifications supertanker Knock Nevis
Put into operation: 1976
Withdrawn from the fleet: 04.01.2010
Length: 458.45 m
Width: 68.86 m
Draft: 24 611 meters
Propulsion: steam turbines with a total capacity of 50,000 liters. s.
Speed: 13-16 knots
Crew: 40 people.
Carrying capacity: 564,763 tons
6 more tankers ULCC (ultra large oil tanker) surpassed the mark of 500,000 dwt:
Battilus 553,662 dwt 1976 - 1985 (decommissioned)
Bellamya 553,662 dwt 1976 - 1986 (decommissioned)
Pierre Guillaumat 555,051 dwt 1977 - 1983 (decommissioned)
Esso Atlantic 516,000 dwt 1977 - 2002 (decommissioned)
Esso Pacific 516 dwt in 1977 - 2002 (decommissioned)
Prairial 554,974 dwt 1979 - 2003 (decommissioned)
Think about it: the stopping distance is 10.2 kilometers giant, and the turning circle is greater than 3.7 km! So that, among other ships, scurrying in these waters, this supertanker - the elephant in a china shop.
When the tanker is necessary to bring to the oil terminal, take it to the tug and pull very, very slowly. It is easy to imagine what might happen when an error in maneuvering the vessel weighing nearly a million tons.
During his life tanker supergiant changed owners several times and changed the name - first - in Happy Giant, and then on the Jahre Viking.
In 2009, the ship was transported to India in Alang, where it was forcibly thrown stranded for disposal.
In 2010, the ship was utilized.
At the moment,
One of the representatives of this class of ships was an oil tanker «Batillus». This cargo ship was created from start to finish, in the original project without additional upgrades during the operation. Marine tanker since bookmark was built in 10 months, and was spent on the construction of about 70,000 tons of steel. Property owner has cost $ 130 million.

"Titanic" was the biggest. And Manhattan. and the Tower of Babel.
Well, when it was ... soon about these names and remember! :-)
Funny, that, instead of the 747 painted A320-sized B747
yes there are probably still those artists:-)
An even bigger joke that there instead of the tanker aircraft carrier is depicted
to Mahi's eshtё
On such ships can build entire cities !! And floating
That solved the problem of overpopulation:-)
Wow, ogromina!
"Repairers replace 3.7 tons crumpled steel."
=
With so little?
Here probably a typo.
May 3700 tons?
It would be more believable.
1 ton of steel is only one or two beams of medium length and cross section.
Or medium size SUV.
