  If you remove all of the repetition, the video would be about 20 minutes instead of 40+

  The largest ship ever built was the Seawise Giant (also known as the Knock Nevis). It measured 458 m long and 70 m wide (SF Fig. 8.5) and was used as an oil tanker from 1979–2010. That a big tanker.

  The double hull is to prevent the crude leaking into the sea if the is a collision

  I bet they could have shaved 15 minutes off the run time of this video had they not had the narrator repeat himself every five minutes.

  All four oil tankers were constructed for shipping company Hellespont Group by Daewoo Shipbuilding &amp; Marine Engineering in Okpo, South Korea, entering service between March 2002 and April 2003. The ships were originally named Hellespont Alhambra, Hellespont Fairfax, Hellespont Metropolis and Hellespont Tara. Incidentally this was not the largest tanker ever built. Container ships are much longer at 400 metres in length, obviously there deadweight tonnage is much less.

  Truly interesting. I want a model of that ship! Lots of silly overdramatization, though.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9mrMT7-eUoc&amp;t=20">0:20</a> &quot;..and it&apos;s estimated that thousands of boats and ships are operating on them at any one time&quot;... whose most obvious estimation is that?? 😂😂😂
