Knock Nevis – former Jahre Viking – was converted to a Floating Storage and Offloading (FSO) unit in 2004 at Dubai Dry Docks (UAE) and installed on the Al Shaheen field for Mærsk Qatar the same year. The vessel is the largest tank vessel in the world. The ship was originally named the SEAWISE GIANT and was launched in 1975 at Sumitomo’s Oppama yard (Japan) for Universal Petrolrum Company (Liberian flag), and was lengthened to its current size in 1980 at Nippon Kokan’s Tsu yard (Japan).

The Ultra Large Crude Carrier (ULCC) oil tanker Jahre Viking was the largest ship afloat in 2006. At 485.46 meters [1,503 feet long] from tip to tip, she surpasses the tallest land structure, the 424-meter Petronas tower of Malaysia. When fully laden she can not pass through the 32-mile-wide English channel, nor either the Suez and Panama canals. When fully laden, she sits 24.6 meters in the water, too deep to enter most of the world's major ports. She has a a beam of 69 meters [226 feet]. A typical very large crude carrier (VLCC) today is 280,000 DWT, 350 meters long, 60 meters wide and 30 meters deep. The Eiffel Tower is 300m high (984 ft) and consists of 6,300 metric tons of iron. The Statue of Liberty is 93.5m high (306 ft.) high, the figure alone is 46.4m (152 ft), and the figure weighs 254 metric tons. The Jahre Viking has a surprisingly small crew of 40. Apart from a few Russian junior officers, the officers, including her captain, are Indians. The crew is almost entirely Filipino. When it is fully loaded with crude oil, she has a cargo capacity (deadweight tonnage) of 564,763 tons, with 260,851 gross register tons. Gross tonnage is a measure of the internal capacity of a ship. It is a cubic or space measurement of all areas of a vessel with some allowances or deductions for exempt spaces such as living quarters. Jahre Viking can carry nearly 650,000 m³ (4.1 million barrels) of crude oil. Knock Nevis (1). Knock Nevis ship images wallpaper gallery 1. Knock Nevis ship pictures and images collection 1.
