KNOCK NEVIS(Jahre Viking),is the worlds largest ship at 458.4 meters long (over 1/4 of a mile) and 68.9 meterst wide. she would dwarf the 424-metre Petronas tower of Malaysia at 485.46 metres from tip to tip.she sits 24.5 meters deep in the sea, a depth great enough to stop her from accessing most of the world’s major ports.she carries (When fully laden)the capacity of 4,240,865 barrels of oil which is worth $122 million ! separated from the sea by just 3.5cm's of steel plate !

It has a displacement of 825,614 GLW (Gross Laden Weight) metric tons. It has an unladen weight is 564,763 tons.It takesTaking 5.5 miles to stop with a turning circle of over 2 miles.The KNOCK NEVIS is so huge that when fully laden she can not pass through the 32 mile wide English channel.

* :eek: But KNOCK NEVIS will be soon dwarfed by the ship called 'Freedom' and it is under construction. It will be ONE MILE long and 25 stories tall from the waterline, and will displace an estimated 2.7 million tons.:shocked: :shocked: :shocked:

Those are unbelieveable structures of engineering. I hope they won't sink in their first voyage.
