The biggest and largest super tanker ship of the world : 'Jahre Viking'

Setting a landmark in the infinitely huge seas and oceans has always been one of the biggest desire of man. Now, with the term landmark we mean that something which is the biggest and the largest ship of water transport vehicle built ever. This post is dedicated to such a man mad wonder i.e. the 'Knok Nuis Ship' and it is certainly the most giant and biggest super-tanker floating in water. When it was built, it used to have a capacity of around 5,65,000 tons and it was around 1,500 feet in length which is truly surprising. However, the makers of the ship were not satisfied even by these powerful capabilities of the ship and they decided to enhance it further which resulted in its renovation. With the up gradation, its capacity increased by around  87,000 tons. This new renovated mega ship was renamed as 'Jahre Viking'. But its true that flexibility in motion and size are inversely proportional to each other and this super tanker is not an exception to this fact. This huge boat is extremely difficult to steer as it can enter only some of the ports among which the names of the Panama and the Suez Canals are not present. Jahre Viking was anchored in the Persian Gulf and currently it functions as the storage reserve of crude oil. The present capacity of it is mind-boggling 6,47,955 tones which roughly means around 4 Million oil barrels. In terms of length, you will be enthralled to know that it is even higher then the Petronas tower and stands 4th if placed on the list of the highest skyscrapers of the world. To get a rough estimate regarding the size and magnificence of this ship, the following fact might help you : that with a single delivery of the crude oil present on this ship, it can feed the fuel for the world economy to run for around 2 days! The previous fact justifies the presence and construction of these kind of structures, however the risk accidents associated with them possess a mighty risk to the economy as well as to the environment which is no-doubt the most important think for all kind of species to exist. Anyways, have a look at the photo collection of this largest super taker of the world which can be truly called as the 'symbol of sea transportation'.
