Knock Nevis
A comparison of the Empire State Building and the Knock Nevis
Promotional image of the "Jahre Viking" reconstruction from the Keppel Shipyard, SingaporeThe Knock Nevis is a Norwegian owned supertanker, formerly known as Seawise Giant, Happy Giant, and Jahre Viking. It is 458 meters (1504 feet) in length and 69 m (226 ft) in width, making it the largest ship in the world. It was built between 1979 and 1981, damaged by the Iraqi Air Force in 1986 during the Iran-Iraq War, and refloated in 1991.
The ship
Knock Nevis has a deadweight of 564,763 tonnes and a summer displacement of 647,955 t when laden with nearly 650,000 m³ (4.1 million barrels) of crude oil. It sits 24.6 metres in the water when fully loaded, which makes it impossible for it to navigate even the English Channel, let alone man-made canals at Suez and Panama.
The ship sails under the flag of Singapore. It is crewed by 40 people.
History
Knock Nevis was built at Sumitomo Corporation's Oppama shipyard in Japan for a Greek owner who went bankrupt before the ship was finished. The unfinished ship was bought by a Hong Kong shipping magnate Tung Chao Yung who had it extended by several meters, thus increasing its load-carrying capacity and making it the largest ship ever built. The ship was finally floated two years later and named Seawise Giant.
At first it operated between the Middle East and the USA but from about 1986 it was used as a floating storage ship and transhipment terminal in Iran during the Iran-Iraq War. In May 1988 the ship was attacked and heavily damaged by bombs dropped from Iraqi jets while lying at the Iranian Hormuz terminal in the Strait of Hormuz. At the end of the Iran-Iraq War in late 1989, the wreck (which had by then been towed to Brunei) was bought by a Norwegian limited liability partnership ("KS-company") managed by Norman International. They had the wreck repaired by the Keppel Shipyard in Singapore, and renamed Happy Giant. However in 1991, before the repairs were completed, the KS-company became managed by Norwegian shipping company Jørgen Jahre, and the vessel was delivered from Keppel Shipyard as the Jahre Viking. During the late 1990s, the majority of the KS-company was bought by Norwegian shipowner Fred Olsen through his company First Olsen Tankers.
