Well they couldn't have kept her as a museum or something, there's not many places you can moor a tub like that long term.

She will be known in history as the world's largest tanker. And I think she will get a second record. No offense but as the largest tanker scrapped. May she rest in peace.

Cheer up, matt!  As far as they're scrapping her, the ocean level goes down.  That what's needed in front of the global warming.

  Not that I think this a good idea but, If all ships were taken out of the water how much would the sea level decrease?

  But as for the Knock Nevis = RIP  :'(

  If you look on Google Earth you can see all the ships and pollution in Alang. It's sad.

Exactly. The sea level would neither decrease nor increase, unless the ships floated off into space...
