Are there chambers connecting the storage tanks below that a person could walk or crawl through?

[bickin]

i dont think so

[bickin]

ships are said to be females, i guess you are right! :) and so your wife..

[numptybaws3]

Thats pretty damn big. Too bad these beasts arent still sailing

[denjam]

@McLarenMercedes In fact the Batillus-class supertanker "Pierre Guillaumat" is still the longuest shi ever built. The seawise Giant was smaller when built but was extended by 81 metres to increase its profitability.

La musique de cette vidéo a changé. La musique d'avant était envoûtante à souhait, c'est dommage.

[gemlikli161]

knock venıs vs Batillus class

[McLarenMercedes]

Biggest ship if gross tonnage is counted.

However the size of ships usually is used the Deadweight Tonnage measure, and there the Knock Nevis (ex Jahre Viking, ex Seawise Giant) still was the heaviest ever (and the longest ever too).
