This ship was scrapped in India 14 years ago.

★Hey random viewer! If you're looking for an educational video, you're in the wrong place.

There are a lot of inaccurate information in this video. For example one would not compare a warships emergency crash stop to a tankers head reach.

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.

Gotta love how it shrunk from 1504 metres right down to 1500 feet .. ' Honey I shrunk the ULCC '

A speed of about 16 knots is a completely normal for Tankers. Container ships go faster, tankers do not.

Why does youtube allow these obvious AI slop channels?

This video is full of inaccuracies, errors, and hyperbole. None of the images correspond to the script. (This Channel should be called Without Facts)

You do know that 4 dollars a barrel to 12 dollars a barrel is only triple, not quadruple. This video is riddled with errors.

At 02:12 Wrong again. I see a DIESEL ENGINE, NOT a BOILER

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'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.

I don't think the ship was almost a mile long as you claim at 0:12. "Beyond Facts" - nailed it!

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.

beyond facts is correct, theres not one in the whole channel

Crazy idea. Oil Tanker Ship conversion to Aircraft Carrier :D

"Oil prices quadrupled from $4 a barrel to nearly $12 a barrel."

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.

At 04:49 Wrong again So they added 10 feet (ca 3 meter) to this giant ship? That is less than 1 percent! I don't think so. Why don't you find a proper job? Bricklayer perhaps.

ancient news. its been scrapped years ago

Fifty feet longer than the Empire State Building? This means nothing to me.

Problem: It won't fit in the Panama Canal.

"Beyond Facts" in the most correct and honest meaning, still better would be "Far away from Facts"

The boat IS NOT 1500m it is 1500 FEET. Huge difference lmao...

This gets a downvote for its errors and inconsistencies.

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).

At 02:34 Wrong again. What you show is NOT the diameter of the propellor.

0:12 the narrator suggests feet, but the text say 1504m. Is it 1504 feet or 1504 meters?

You got the length wrong at the beginning- it was 1504 FEET long which is 458m. Still the longest vessel...!

What can you expect from a channel called Beyond Facts?

Beyond Facts has a GIANT problem

GM bought all the scrap from the sea wize giant, then GM produced rust bucket pickup trucks from 1973 to 1978. Have a nice day.

When you go "Beyond Facts" you get into fiction. So I guess the channels name explains the outrageous inaccuracies.

$4 to $12 is NOT quadrupled, it is tripled.

Sumitomo Heavy Ind, is based in Shinagawa Tokyo. This rubbish has more holes than Swiss cheese 😮

$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!

Thanks for a very intersting video! You've earned a new subscriber. :)

Timeless piece of information on a gigantic giant!!! Tku sir.

I am only surprised Dubai didn't order this ship up.

Tripled to$12 a barrel for oil we should suffer so much!

With an overall length of 50 feet, must've been really big feet.

That poor ship had such a crappy life.

nothing surprised me when japanese built that thing.. because they also built the Yamato!

Wow, an extroidinairily giant ship, and a history making story!

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.

1504 ft not meters…. 0:12 , you made it 12 seconds👏🏽

Great information and history

Unprecedented heavy equipment features redefine modern industrial capabilities.

At 00:13 No, not so. The ship is (only) 458 meter long.

Fun fact , the 70's ULCC's could carry 3M barrels which paid for the ship on its 1st shipment

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.

3:40 "jumboisation" is not unique to the maritime industry. They do it with cars also: cut it in half, insert extra body in the middle.

'The daily fuel needs of 7 million people' A drop in the ocean then.

The bigger they come the harder they fall.

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.

darn AI crap, nobody even seen this before it posted this.

The barrels are 42gls not 55gls a big difference.

QUADrupling $4, $12 does not make.

Lot of nonsens here. CY Tung did not have the ship extended by 10 feet, but by 140 meters.

HAD a giant problem?

If explodes it is like an H-bomb.

1:35 "... draft of 80 feet, the Seawise Giant was nearly eight stories tall." No, please, stop. The draft is just the portion underwater. The overall height of the ship is much greater than the draft... unless the entire ship in underwater.

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.

TIL The Empire State Building is 4770 ft tall!

Beyond facts=far in the distance.

Oh, Gas prices just doubled or tripled! Now I feel better.

Should be powered by a SMR

No one is EVER going to see a battery electric ship this size. Not ever. The idea is completely absurd. For several separate reasons.

I'm just enjoying reading the comments. So entertaining. This video is clearly a masterpiece of incompetent, ignorant and confused amateurism. To think it's had 225K views. Terrifying.

Mistakes in math in the first 12 seconds.

ship measurement is wrong

Looks like FACTS are not the most important thing in this episode?

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.

This was carter's opec

Since when did the Canadian Snowbirds fly combat for Iraq?

heh heh.... He said "boiler." Funnier than saying the length was 1500 meters.

0:40 Going from $4 to $12 is not "quadrupling." It's called *tripling.*

This entire video has a giant problem. and i believe the channel name is correct.

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.

In the future, mega ships like these will fly

HAD HAD HAD HAD a problem. Seems like it had more than one problem.

So what was the giant problem?

0:41 "... quadrupled from $4 a barrel to nearly $12 a barrel" You Keep Using That Word, I Do Not Think It Means What You Think It Means.

You can record this as History.. The World 's Largest Floating White Elephant'. Learn from History and built our Wisdom.

And to compare this monsters' stopping distance to one of our destroyers is STUPID. We build them for emergency crash back maneuvers.

7:18 It’s pronounced “Straight of Hor-muze”

Exocet, not Exojet.

dude, dude, you confused feet with meters in the graphics ....

Amazing very nice ❤ Best contact 🌹 love you

Oil. The blood of evil.

10:56 Yes, there will absolutely be more ships like this created in the future, even bigger ships in fact! ... they will just be starships 😂

Absolutely amazing! Thanks for posting this video.

Those ships at 6:02 were much bigger. I'd like to hear about those. What is the name of those two ships that are much bigger?
