Life Inside the World's Largest Oil Tanker Ship
The Largest Ship In The World Has A GIANT Problem. The Seawise Giant, known as an Ultra Large Crude Carrier, was the longest and heaviest ship to ever set sail in the world. However, despite its massive size, it faced a variety of limitations that ultimately made it fall into obscurity. It was also a prime target during one of the most intense conflicts of the past fifty years.

Yep the picture in the thumbnail told me all I needed to know...
The biggest problem faced by this ship is the fact that it no longer exists - it has been taken apart and recycled into all sorts of other things. Cars, bicycles, farm gates, razor blades, new ships etc.

Because YT changed and now sucks.
I was at sea at the time serving on tankers . 16 knots is a reasonable speed for a tanker especially as they spend a lot of their time awaiting orders or changing destinations. In fact I served on one that managed 9 knots so this information is wrong . Secondly it’s rare that tankers go into port . Normal routine is mooring to an offshore pipe line connection and sometimes so far off it was difficult in Persian gulf etc to even see the shore . I remember this vessel well . C Y Tung went on to become the first Chief Executive of Hong Kong after the British left . His shipping line still trades ( OOCL ) but was sold last decade to the mainland Chinese company COSCO .

I don't think the ship was almost a mile long as you claim at 0:12. "Beyond Facts" - nailed it!
I'm only 13 seconds into this video, and... The Empire State Building is not 1454 meters tall, it is 1454 FEET tall, and that includes a tall antenna on top.
It’s giant problem is that it doesn’t even exist anymore…
I stopped at 1500 m long ship. Such sloppy work gets a block from me.
"Oil prices quadrupled from $4 a barrel to nearly $12 a barrel."
Crazy idea. Oil Tanker Ship conversion to Aircraft Carrier :D
beyond facts is correct, theres not one in the whole channel

Can I break it to you gently, folks? The Empire State Building is not a boat -- and the diameter of the propellors is at right-angels to the boat, so it's not relevant to the overall length. It is inane to say "the original owner refused to purchase her." If you're the owner you've already made the purchase. If you refuse to purchase it, you're not its owner. Duh.
You need to hire a proofreader. At :11 you said the ship is 1,504 meters (about 4,934 feet); then at 1:23 you said she was 1,498 feet (458 meters).

So if you cut 50 feet off the top of the Empire State building and fastened it to the front of the ship, the Empire State building would still be about 1200 feet taller than the ship. Most of the people in the world have never seen the empire State building or a super tanker. Perhaps it would be more useful to say that a super tanker is over 1/3 of mile long. Or, it’s the length of 15 football fields. Or the length of four city blocks. Or 300 to 400 feet longer than a modern cruise ship or aircraft carrier.
The boat IS NOT 1500m it is 1500 FEET. Huge difference lmao...

This gets a downvote for its errors and inconsistencies.
What can you expect from a channel called Beyond Facts?
You got the length wrong at the beginning- it was 1504 FEET long which is 458m. Still the longest vessel...!
When you go "Beyond Facts" you get into fiction. So I guess the channels name explains the outrageous inaccuracies.
Sumitomo Heavy Ind, is based in Shinagawa Tokyo. This rubbish has more holes than Swiss cheese 😮
Beyond Facts has a GIANT problem
$4 to $12 is NOT quadrupled, it is tripled.
$12 a barrel?? The crew and I would hit the bars back then and would be legless on $12 Now a pint costs $15!!!!!
"She could meet the daily fuel needs of over 7 million people." That's a tiny fraction of the planet's population, and only a daily amount. If the numbers are accurate, this is a bit sad.
The start the video shows the length as 1504m, where m stands for meters, but the voice over states 50 ft greater than the Empire State building. It should show 1504 ft. Time to maybe do some better error checking!
Timeless piece of information on a gigantic giant!!! Tku sir.
The largest Ship is a Katamaran, the Pioneering Spirit. "Pioneering Spirit (formerly Pieter Schelte) is a catamaran crane vessel owned by the Switzerland-based Allseas Group designed for the single-lift installation and removal of large oil and gas platforms and the installation of record-weight pipelines.[4][2] The 382-metre-long (1,253 ft), 124-metre-wide (407 ft) vessel is the world's largest vessel by gross tonnage, the heaviest vehicle ever made and since September 2021 also the largest floating sheerleg in the world.[6]"
FYI its almost as LONG as a football field NOT WIDE....A regulation football field's distance from goal line to goal line is 100 yards or 300 feet, Note that the 10-yard (30 feet) end zones go beyond each goal line for a total length of 360ft or 120 yards. Riddled with errors indeed.

Tripled to$12 a barrel for oil we should suffer so much!
nothing surprised me when japanese built that thing.. because they also built the Yamato!
With an overall length of 50 feet, must've been really big feet.
Unprecedented heavy equipment features redefine modern industrial capabilities.
Within the first 12 seconds the video has already confused feet with metres and shows the vessel in the on-screen graphic as being nearly a mile long (1504 metres) instead of 1504 feet. I didn't bother watching the rest of the video after it made such a basic error so early on.
No one is EVER going to see a battery electric ship this size. Not ever. The idea is completely absurd. For several separate reasons.

There is no building on the planet that is 1451m(eter) tall as per animated graphic, this isn't meter, but feet. At least the narrator gets it verbally correct.
QUADrupling $4, $12 does not make.
Lengths in first minute are not correct (shown as meters). If they were, the Empire State Building would be over 3x taller than it actually is and this ship would be nearly 1 mile long.. No way do other cargo ships max out at 24-26 knots. A 16 knot top speed is actually quite fast, not slow as video says.
A football/soccer pitch should be 70-80 meters wide less (not more) than the 255ft you reported around 1:30. Did you mean less than the length in which case your field image was incorrectly positioned.
The barrels are 42gls not 55gls a big difference.
Lot of nonsens here. CY Tung did not have the ship extended by 10 feet, but by 140 meters.
I wish new buyer renamed her "Your Mom"
There are sooo many better channels on YT than this if this is your thing.
Notice he said, "cut in two", and not in half. That would require at least 4th grade level math.
0:40 Going from $4 to $12 is not "quadrupling." It's called *tripling.*

Umm...$4 x 4 = $16. So it really tripled from $4 to $12.
So what was the giant problem?
Wrong use of the verb to have. The Seawise Giant no longer exists, so it's "had", not "has" (a giant problem)
ship measurement is wrong
This shoddy piece is certainly "beyond facts." I've reported it as misleading, using the "Report" feature under the three dots above. If enough other people do the same thing, maybe we can get them to rewrite it without all the stupidity and ignorance.
