A brief history of knock nevis /Knock Nevis, the largest ship in human history. This paper details every key moment of knock nevis's life, and some related knowledge is interspersed in the form of eggs, which is dedicated to you who love knowledge!
The first named porthos and No.116
In December 1974, the Greek shipowner placed a construction order with Sumitomo Heavy Machinery Yokosuga Shipyard (now known as Yokosuga Manufacturing Plant); It was built in December of the same year, and the number of the berth in the shipyard is 116. Originally designed as a 418,611-ton (DWT) Single Hull tanker.
it was built on March 19th, 1975, and left the slipway for launching on September 4th of the same year.
Egg 1 (Almost at the same time, the first-round Batillus, a French supertanker "Batillus", also laid its keel in 1975, was outfitted in 1976, and immediately put into operation. Later, due to the structural problems of a single hull, it was retired early in 1983 and dismantled in 1985. The designed deadweight tonnage of "Batillus" class is 553,662 tons (DWT), and 4 ships will be built. )
in 1976, the outfitting was completed and the sea trial was carried out under the name of No.116 factory hull. During the sea trial, it was found that many technical problems could not be overcome. For example, when reversing in an emergency, many unexpected vibrations occurred and were rejected by the original Greek ordering party (the name "porthos" originally conceived by the Greek side was put into operation, so the name "porthos" was not officially used by the ship).

No.2 name Zhuibang /Oppama
On May 26th, 1976, Sumitomo Heavy Machinery filed it as "/Delivered" and named it "Zhuibang /Oppama" for the first time after the shipyard was located.
No.3 name Sea Giant /Seawise Giant
In a protracted lawsuit, the original Greek orderer declared bankruptcy, Sumitomo resumed its search for a new buyer. In 1979, it resold the ship to Dong Haoyun, a Hong Kong shipowner, at a discount, and later changed its name to Sea Giant, which was put into operation between Japan and the Persian Gulf that year. However, due to design defects, it was quickly withdrawn from operation and rebuilt. The main reconstruction item is to change the hull into a Double Bottom to enhance the hull structure.
From July to October, 198, it took three months in Tsushima, Japan. The original ship was cut off and an 81m-long Double Hull cabin was inserted to increase the structural strength and cargo capacity. It also makes the hull too long, beyond the original design to deal with the wave wavelength under adverse sea conditions. However, after this transformation, the deadweight tonnage has been increased to 564,763 tons (DWT), and the < P > displacement has reached 825,614 tons. It officially became the largest ship in the world at that time, and it was also the largest real ship that ever existed in the world.
egg 2 (in 1981, the sea giant was rebuilt and put into operation. Batillus was handed over to the Sea Giant after five years on the world's No.1 throne)
In 1983, its hull was still damaged when it was sailing full of crude oil due to structural problems, and it was temporarily changed to an offshore crude oil storage platform because of the low international oil price, and then it continued to participate in transportation and storage operations. During the Iran-Iraq War (Iraq and Iran), the Sea Giant still entered the Persian Gulf for transportation.
on may 14th, 1988, when sailing through the Strait of Hormuz, it was hit hard by Iraqi warplanes using anti-ship missiles to fly fish, and it landed in the shallow sea off the coast of Kharg Island in Iran. Fortunately, at that time, the water depth in the sea area was shallow and the seabed was relatively flat, and some of the giant at sea was still exposed to the water and was stranded. And it is on the way to Iran to load crude oil. It is an empty cabin, with only thousands of tons of heavy oil for fuel, which has not caused serious ecological disasters. In this state, the Sea Giant overlooked all kinds of companions coming and going in the Persian Gulf until the end of the Iran-Iraq war.

the fourth name Happy Giant/Happy Giant
In 1989, Norman International, a Norwegian joint private equity fund, acquired the ownership of the Sea Giant at the current price of $35 million. After being salvaged, it was towed to Keppel shipyard in Singapore.
A large-scale repair was carried out in October 199. It is said that this repair consumed 3,2 tons of steel, and the replaced pipeline was 32 kilometers long, with a total cost of 6 million US dollars. After the repair, it was renamed Happy Giant and returned to operation.
No.5 Name: Aleviking /Jahre Viking
In 1991, the Norwegian shipping company Jahre bought the Happy Giant from Norman International for $39 million and changed its name to Aleviking /Jahre Viking. The Viking has been serving the shipping of Arles ever since.
No.6 name knock nevis /Knock Nevis
In 24, the Singapore-registered First Olsen Tankers took over the Arles Viking from Arles Shipping and changed its name to knock nevis/Knocknevis. Enter the Kada dry dock for FSO modification, and the modification projects include repaving the main pipelines, updating the berthing system and transforming the helipad. Later, a company named Maersk Oil leased the ship and parked it in Xiaxin Oilfield as a facility for offshore storage and loading and unloading of crude oil.

The last name is Mont
In December 29, knock nevis was sold to India and named "Mont".
it was dismantled in Aram, Gujarat, India on January 4th, 21.
So far, it has completed its glorious and legendary life after changing eight names in 35 years. Seven years after its demise, it was not until 217 that the Prelude took over the throne of the largest ship in human history. From the refit in 1981, the throne of "the largest ship in human history" was obtained until the throne was lost in 217, and a * * * reigned for 36 years.
It is said that Egg 3 is the largest existing ship, Prelude, which was ordered by Dutch energy giant Royal Shell from South Korea's Samsung Heavy Industries in 213. It is 488 meters long, 78 meters wide and 11 meters high. It is a floating liquid natural gas production platform with a full-load displacement of over 6, tons. Because the ship has to be towed by tugboats, it is only a productive platform, and many people are reluctant to give it the title of "the largest ship". In a sense, it does not have some forms of ships. What do you think?
knock nevis is 458.45 meters long and 68.8 meters wide after refitting, which is really inferior to Prelude, but its full-load displacement is more than 2, tons.

Egg 4 is said to be the largest ship operated by human beings at present. 2
The Oceania supertanker is the largest ship still in operation (except for offshore production and storage platforms).
The Oceania was acquired by Euronav Tankers, a Belgian tanker owner, from another tanker company, Oceania Tanker Corporation in 218. The supertanker Seaways Laura Lynn, which was purchased by ation at a cost of 32.5 million US dollars, was named OCEANIA. The captain is 38 meters wide and 68 meters wide. With a full displacement of 51, tons, it can hold 3 million barrels of crude oil at a time. In addition, the ship also has a sister ship operating under the company's name plus TI Europe, which is the only second largest operating ship at present.
Egg 6 is the most floating object on the sea designed by human beings.
5.1 Ice carrier-Habakkuk /Habakkuk
During World War II, the British designed an ice carrier named Habakkuk /Habakkuk. It was planned to mine a piece of ice in Antarctica, level it to make an airport, and then install propellers and cooling devices to fight the Germans in the Atlantic Ocean. This kind of brain hole has been opened to the outside of the head, but it is commendable that human progress is driven by imagination. The design is 6 meters in length, 15 meters in width and 11 meters in height, and it is propelled by 26 propellers. Because many human technologies can't meet the requirements, this whimsy only stays on the design drawings, and the revised drawings are still kept in the archives of the Royal Navy.
5.2 Freedom Boat
Freedom Boat is a huge floating building for 5, people to live in for a long time, which is equipped with schools, hospitals, parks, airports, shopping and leisure centers, etc. The shipyard is 1,371 meters wide, 228 meters high and 16 meters high, with a displacement of 2.7 million tons and 25 floors, accommodating 5, long-term residents, 2, crew members and service personnel. 7% of the time is parked near big cities, and 3% of the time is sailing at sea. At present, the plan is still in the fund-raising stage.
