Reading about some tankers this evening and i found this about the old Jahre viking / knock nevis or now known as mont.

In december 2009 she was sold for scrap to alang india and work has already commenced on her distruction.

I have a passion for VLCC and ULCC and this is a sad day.

The largest moving object built by man the longest ship in the world (not the heaviest though that one goes to the baltilus class), she is so large she cannot navigate the english channel panama canal or even the suez.
She is a single hull tanker and therefore banned from entering European waters and also now american waters.

Shame since 2004 she has been used as a floating storage unit.
