Some new fitness plans promise weight-loss miracles with strength training â but say aerobic exercise isn't worth the energy.
In 1959 the 114,356 dwt âUniverse Apolloâ became the first tanker to pass the 100,000-ton figure: within a decade ships five times that size were being planned. The biggest oil tankers were built in the 1970s after the 1973 oil crisis. Thus a new generation of tanker was born, the VLCCs (Very Large Crude Carriers) and the ULCCs (Ultra Large Crude Carriers). The biggest oil tanker and biggest ship ever constructed â âSeawise Giantâ was built in 1979.
This huge ship used to be the best in its time and has served the world with its consistent services level of straight 35 years. Basically it was an Oil tanker with the deadweight tonnage capacity of almost 516,000 tones. The length of this huge ship was 1,334 feet and the speed capacity was up to 16 knots.
