Seawise Giant had a DWT of 564,763 ton. DWT means DeadWeight Tonnage (also known as deadweight; abbreviated to DWT, D.W.T., d.w.t., or dwt) or tons deadweight (DWT) is a measure of how much weight a ship can carry. It is the sum of the weights of cargo, fuel, fresh water, ballast water, provisions, passengers, and crew.
@@Jodocus1000 yes , thats exactly what i wrote , the amount of weight she can carry is deadweight which was 564763 tonnes , and the empty body was around 80 thousand tonnes , empty body plus load = 657019 tonnes . Cheers .
Cool to see here in her prime (when she was brand new). Little did the narrators know she would be seriously damaged in the Persian Gulf and for a while deemed a total loss. It's funny to hear people in 1979 talking about "energy lifelines", as if the oil in the Middle East was some resource that would never dry up. Don't know what an "economical wonder" she was either since she couldn't sail through neither the Suez or Panama canals. Or the English channel even.
Such a legend..it should not had been scraped
I 100% agree
Seawise Giant Is Scrap Because She Too Big To Enter Port And Harbour
Great, great, great Seawise Giant. Honour to this unbelievable creation.
564763 tonnes is just the weight of the oil she carried, total fully loaded ship weighed 657019 metric tonnes .

Why WHY did they demolished it in india? they could have put this boat in a museum, this boat has a Whole history
That would be a big museum - and a long walk.
@@alannewman85 with very few visitors I'm afraid.
Now they worried
The intro gives me a Dr. Strangelove vibe.
Chuck Norris is powering this by hand.
sem dúvida esse foi o maior navio da história. alguém tem o vídeo de 1979 o lançamento dele na água???
Also known as Happy Giant, Knock Nevis, Oppama, and Mont.
Oppama her first name where order by Greeks.
And Jahre Viking.
(Also, "Mont" was only a temporary name, used during the last voyage - to be scrapped). (To India...I think ??)
@@karlbark yes it was
'Peak ship', an idol to worship for all the size maniacs out there. We're on the down side of the gauss curve now boys & girls :-D
Area of the surface of the top deck in it was over 3 hectars👀
why did they scrap it and not moor it and have it as a museum?
Bo Danville how would they move it, by a truck???⛟🚛🚚 even though that would be the coolest.
lol maybe not put it IN a museum. Maybe turn it into one though.

VOCÊ TEM O VíDEO DELE SENDO LANÇADO NA ÁGUA? acho muito dificil
Poor darling only lived to 30.
Long time for a supertanker
Dude. I was shocked to hear that it is bigger than the empire state building
And you think only Americans could build big things.
"We take it personally"
You should. God gave it that way.
ACHEI UMA BURRICE DEMOLIR O MAIOR NAVIO DO MUNDO. DEVERIA FICAR ESPOSTO
Concord...
I heard it got scrapped in january wut a shame
just a bunch of razor blades now.
this could be in a bath tub
er this was the Viking!
I know I’m 7 years late but it was Seawise Giant before it was Jahre Viking
its not that old XD
I would have wanted to see this ships explosion with full load on.
Why would explode? Crude oil isn't flamable.
Shipster1912
well fill it with something highly explosive. would be fun to see!
*****
rather see it exploding in a big way than scrapped to parts bit by bit.
The Seawise Gaint is the Jahre Viking. Same ship.
You mean they could have put a museum in the boat! O_o
Build The Enterprise!
