Not look unlike the VLCC in SS08?

I think that the creators of the Lattitude inspired them from this vessel and their sisterships, only the bridge is different (bridgewings)

Hello,
The four ULCCs (VPlus) of Euronav SA (http://www.euronav.com/fleet.asp) are bigger than Latitude (Difference in length 66m, in beam 22 and draft 6.50m).
Latitude is in the vicinity of 180000GT/200000GT whereas the TIs are 440000GT, so a VLCC instead of an ULCC
Like in the picture of Captain Kool, the bridge wings of Latitude are as large as the ships' beam, but the bridge wings of these ULCCs are not so wide.
Is the name of the ship of Captain Kool's ship known?
Regards,
Luc
