I came in to say the same thing about the price of fuel. It also showed this ship as 1504M long. Get the fuck outta here. Shit video full of crap info.
The biggest problem faced by this ship is the fact that it no longer exists - it has been taken apart and recycled into all sorts of other things. Cars, bicycles, farm gates, razor blades, new ships etc.
I was at sea at the time serving on tankers . 16 knots is a reasonable speed for a tanker especially as they spend a lot of their time awaiting orders or changing destinations. In fact I served on one that managed 9 knots so this information is wrong . Secondly it’s rare that tankers go into port . Normal routine is mooring to an offshore pipe line connection and sometimes so far off it was difficult in Persian gulf etc to even see the shore . I remember this vessel well . C Y Tung went on to become the first Chief Executive of Hong Kong after the British left . His shipping line still trades ( OOCL ) but was sold last decade to the mainland Chinese company COSCO .
At 04:49 Wrong again So they added 10 feet (ca 3 meter) to this giant ship? That is less than 1 percent! I don't think so. Why don't you find a proper job? Bricklayer perhaps.
Is it just me or does the thumbnail for this video look like a cherry jelly cheesecake, for some reason? Is that what the AI came up with, or something?
I'm only 13 seconds into this video, and... The Empire State Building is not 1454 meters tall, it is 1454 FEET tall, and that includes a tall antenna on top.
So if you cut 50 feet off the top of the Empire State building and fastened it to the front of the ship, the Empire State building would still be about 1200 feet taller than the ship. Most of the people in the world have never seen the empire State building or a super tanker. Perhaps it would be more useful to say that a super tanker is over 1/3 of mile long. Or, it’s the length of 15 football fields. Or the length of four city blocks. Or 300 to 400 feet longer than a modern cruise ship or aircraft carrier.
Can I break it to you gently, folks? The Empire State Building is not a boat -- and the diameter of the propellors is at right-angels to the boat, so it's not relevant to the overall length. It is inane to say "the original owner refused to purchase her." If you're the owner you've already made the purchase. If you refuse to purchase it, you're not its owner. Duh.
This video is so full of factual errors and contradictions that it lives up to the channel name. I stopped believing the words when the AI omitted the fact that the ship no longer _has_ a problem because it was scrapped in 2010.
I'm just enjoying reading the comments. So entertaining. This video is clearly a masterpiece of incompetent, ignorant and confused amateurism. To think it's had 225K views. Terrifying.
I am one of the crew (circa 1987) of this mammoth ULCC (MT Seawise Giant) stationed at Larak Is. being a mother ship ("floating off laoding-unloading ship") to loaded VLCC's coming from Kharg Is. , during this period Iran has ongoing war with Iraq.
1:35 "... draft of 80 feet, the Seawise Giant was nearly eight stories tall." No, please, stop. The draft is just the portion underwater. The overall height of the ship is much greater than the draft... unless the entire ship in underwater.
The largest Ship is a Katamaran, the Pioneering Spirit. "Pioneering Spirit (formerly Pieter Schelte) is a catamaran crane vessel owned by the Switzerland-based Allseas Group designed for the single-lift installation and removal of large oil and gas platforms and the installation of record-weight pipelines.[4][2] The 382-metre-long (1,253 ft), 124-metre-wide (407 ft) vessel is the world's largest vessel by gross tonnage, the heaviest vehicle ever made and since September 2021 also the largest floating sheerleg in the world.[6]"
A football/soccer pitch should be 70-80 meters wide less (not more) than the 255ft you reported around 1:30. Did you mean less than the length in which case your field image was incorrectly positioned.
The start the video shows the length as 1504m, where m stands for meters, but the voice over states 50 ft greater than the Empire State building. It should show 1504 ft. Time to maybe do some better error checking!
1:30 "Almost as wide as a football field." Your graphic needs to turn the field the other way. The ship's width was almost as much as the LENGTH of a football field. A standard American football field is 160 feet wide... the ship was much MUCH wider. A European (or anywhere else in the world) football pitch is about 50 meters wide, which nearly the same as 160 feet. Details, details...
This shoddy piece is certainly "beyond facts." I've reported it as misleading, using the "Report" feature under the three dots above. If enough other people do the same thing, maybe we can get them to rewrite it without all the stupidity and ignorance.
FYI its almost as LONG as a football field NOT WIDE....A regulation football field's distance from goal line to goal line is 100 yards or 300 feet, Note that the 10-yard (30 feet) end zones go beyond each goal line for a total length of 360ft or 120 yards. Riddled with errors indeed.
"She could meet the daily fuel needs of over 7 million people." That's a tiny fraction of the planet's population, and only a daily amount. If the numbers are accurate, this is a bit sad.
Within the first 12 seconds the video has already confused feet with metres and shows the vessel in the on-screen graphic as being nearly a mile long (1504 metres) instead of 1504 feet. I didn't bother watching the rest of the video after it made such a basic error so early on.
12 seconds in, this video is already showing the ship's length as 1,504 meters, almost a mile long. Yep, this is one of those trash videos that TH-cam is full of.
Maybe, you should learn to get your measurements right. No ship has ever been 1,500 m long. If you absolutely want to use metric units, at least convert correctly from feet to meter. It's simply not economic to build such a tanker again. Tankers today shall be double hull (this was a single hull tanker). Seawise Giant had boilers and steam turbines for propulsion which gives a really poor fuel economy. The size of the largest tankers today max out at close to 400 meter long and around 60 meter wide and most are even smaller than that. The largest container ships today are virtually the same size as some ULCC tankers from the 1970s.
It stayed in service 30 yrs, not accounting for war damage. Ptetty decent working life, i wouldnt call it a white elephant, despite thr changing market and environment.
A draft of 80 feet is just damn amazing and scarey. Any sea creatures like whales that breathe air will linger above 80 feet. Can imagine how many whales got concussed and needed a chiropractor after comong near this monster.

Low effort garbage like yours just clogs up TH-cam and wastes people's time.
This ship was scrapped in India 14 years ago.
Gotta love how it shrunk from 1504 metres right down to 1500 feet ..
' Honey I shrunk the ULCC '
That's about 1/3 the size 🥴
Guessing that's why this channel is called "Beyond Facts"...
You do know that 4 dollars a barrel to 12 dollars a barrel is only triple, not quadruple. This video is riddled with errors.

GM bought all the scrap from the sea wize giant, then GM produced rust bucket pickup trucks from 1973 to 1978. Have a nice day.
Fifty feet longer than the Empire State Building? This means nothing to me.
It means the ESB is 50 feet shorter than the ship.

Misgendering the boat is micro aggression, and may hurt her feelings 😂😂
You got the length wrong at the beginning- it was 1504 FEET long which is 458m. Still the longest vessel...!
Great information and history
