Knock Nevis
« on: July 21, 2008, 10:49:02 »
Now that the Knock Nevis (Ex Seawise Giant, Jahre Viking....) supertanker (largest in the world) is out of service and being used as a FSO, does anyone know if she can move under her own power still?

It doesn't look particularly different because it is used for the storage of crude oil which is what is was origanally built for. ;)

Back to my question - can she still move under her own power as an FSO?

I don't believe so, but it might. :-\

I can't imagine them going through the trouble of taking out the engines. ;)
