Title: Some real "Latitude" pictures - Mooring at Fawley
Post by: TerryRussell on December 26, 2008, 21:48:19: I thought these might be interesting. Of course, it isn't really Latitude, but it's close!

It's a generic model, similar to many others.

The knock Knevis isn't a tanker, it is a fso (Floating Storage and Ofloading).
So it doesn't transport crude oil anymore.

But, it was the Jahre Viking, wich was the biggest ship in the world.

And there is nothing similar between Lattitude and Knock Knevis.

Great pictures Terry!

If im right, the 'Knock Nevis' is currently postioned as a FSO off the coast of Quatar in the Arabian Gulf.
