Knock Nevis was renamed Mont, and reflagged with Sierra Leone by her new owners Amber Development Corporation, for a single voyage to India in January 2010 where she was scrapped. Her 36 tonne anchor was saved and sent to the Hong Kong Maritime Museum for exhibition. Seawise Giant was the longest ship ever constructed, longer than the height of many of the world's tallest buildings. Though slightly smaller than Taipei 101 at 509.2 metres (1,671 ft) and the Willis Tower at 527.3 metres (1,730 ft) from street level to top of antenna, she is larger than the Petronas Twin Towers at 452 metres (1,483 ft).

In spite of its great length, the Seawise Giant was not the largest ship by gross tonnage, ranking fifth at 260,941 GT, behind the four 274,838 to 275,276 GT Batillus-class supertankers. The Batillus class and the Seawise Giant were the largest self-propelled objects ever constructed. Seawise Giant was featured on the BBC series, Jeremy Clarkson's Extreme Machines while she was under way as Jahre Viking. According to her captain, she could reach up to 16.5 knots (30.6 km/h) in good weather, it took 5.5 miles (8.9 km) to stop from that speed, and the turning circle in clear weather was about 2 miles (3.2 km).
