Welcome aboard the TT Jahre Viking, a ship so huge that when fully laden she can not pass through the 32-mile-wide English channel that separates England from France, what to speak of the Suez and Panama canals. For, when laden, she sits 24.6 meters in the water, a depth great enough to deny her entry to most of the worlds major ports.

EVEN in an age of superlatives, she continues as the ultimate superlative, a ship so huge that she would comfortably swallow up Indias largest ship, the 25,000-tonne aircraft carrier INS Vikrant, in her holds. On land, at 485.46 meters from tip to tip, she would dwarf the worlds tallest man-made land structure, the 424-metre Petronas tower of Malaysia. At sea she is fully 100 per cent bigger than the new breed of competing super tankers like the ill-fated Exxon Valdez.
