Breaking Big!: The Mighty MONT (scrapping the world's largest ship)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 сер 2024
- In 2010, Peter Knego went to India to rescue artwork and fittings from the WINNER 5, the former Italian liner AUSONIA of 1957. Next to the ship Knego went to visit was the MONT, the partially demolished supertanker that was the longest and largest ship ever built. Knego shares some extremely rare footage he shot on the beach and from the decks of the WINNER 5 as he recaps this fascinating ship's history.

What a beast of a ship she was. Thank you for documenting her inevitable demise.
Thank you, Frank. She truly was a beast. :)
It should have been preserved as a museum ship. It is a one of a kind vessel and we aren't going to see anything of this size class ever. Very unfortunate to see it scrapped.
A shame to see the end of any type of ship, especially ones that broke records, etc. but it is the sad way of things. Merchant ships just don't seem to inspire the masses like planes, cars and trains.
@@midshipcinema A shame it was scrapped. Why did they do that?
@@AbcAbc-ox6pgcause they idiots
@@AbcAbc-ox6pgit was just to big it could barley dock anywhere and I think there was also a huge decrease in oil prices so there was no need to keep her
Why?: its just a series of very large tanks the inside of which had corroded out, so had got to the end of its life like all tankers and steel ships. Just because it had a " measurement fascination", what was there to recommend it, hardly a thing of beauty?
*Glad I found this... Just discovered this great ship today. Thanks*
Same
Thank you and welcome to the channel! :)
Welcome! :)@@domanictoretto3689
What a great video peter, although off what you normally produce a very important piece of video history, thanks peter, this is right up my street
Thank you, Peter. Yes, quite a different ship but fascinating, nonetheless. She dwarfed my little AUSONIA.
Doomed on the beach! And history in the unmaking! Awesome
Thank you, Tony. It's nice when someone "gets" the nuances. :)
@@midshipcinema very clever sir! It's cool you got to see the big ship before it was totally erased.
@@TCadillacM Thank you, Tony. :)
One of the most iconic and remarkable ship breaking video ever.
It is sad that we will not be able to see these ULCCs anymore
Thanks a lot my dear big brother
My pleasure, Eren! Thanks for watching and for commenting! )
Big fan of Seawise giant. Really miss her 😞
She really did have a following.
Great video! I wish if there would be more videos like this. Thank you for this
Thank you for watching and commenting. :)
Some people say she should have been preserved as a museum, but i don't think any place out there could accomodate this beast...
Small ships are almost impossible to properly maintain as a museum. I think people mean well but they don't realize the costs and labor it takes to preserve a ship, let along a giant one like this.
I wish some one with the resources have bought it and converted it to a musium .
Great video thank you .
Thanks so much for watching. Ships, especially huge ones that were not fighting ships, are a tough thing to preserve.
Great question. I wish I knew. @@dirtyharry5320
R.I.P seawise giant
Thanks for watching.
Unique for sure. Nothin I don't think will overcome it in this type of ship.
Indeed, Justin! Thanks for watching and posting. :)
@@midshipcinema absolutely! The happy Giant always fascinated me. That and the Giant bulk carriers of the Derbyshire class. They had flaws but they were really interesting! Actually a cruise I would like to do is aboard a freighter. I would probably end up helping out the crew LOL.
There is an interesting documentary with Jeremy Clarkson on the Jahre Viking.
Yes, enjoyed it very much. Funny, too. :)
@@midshipcinema Technically the largest vessel ever built is the Prelude FLNG. I saw her in Samsung's yard, its unbelievable.
I still love the name Happy Giant. It worked on her!
Oh the Jahre Viking. I wish I never looked up what happened to it, although I thought it's gonnabe the inevitable.
Sadly, it is the fate most ships meet.
@@midshipcinema True. 😔
At 0:34 it states it took from 1974-1981 to build when actually it was completed in 1979. But still what a wonder of engineering to build such a mammoth ship
Thank you for the correction. My main focus and expertise is on passenger ships, so I appreciate the info. :)
I wonder what the fishing is like off that beach?
Hmmmm. Not highly recommended.
I think they should of sunk it as a reef. That would be the best way to preserve it as some sort of museum without costing a fortune to maintain
In april 2010 my last ship was beached as BSLE Empress. Have you seen her as well?
My interest and expertise is with passenger ships, so apologies here as I do not recall if I saw her.
I was at alang last week ,we towed a bulk carrier...
Mind blowing to think a ship that size in today's markets is fully paid off after its first voyage with millions going to very happy shareholders for years to come.
Where is the oil kept at in the oil tanker? The inside looks like a bunch of decks.
its the worlds biggest ship its so sad it got scrapped you will be missed seawise giant 🫡 😢
Imagine going for a swim there.
Well, it could be classified as a form of torture. Even walking in that water comes with risks...
you’ll be glowing when you come back…..
@@harlyspuitje1 HAHAHA just like the Ready Brek ad!
Is it sea wise
Yes, at one time.
I wonder how much a shipbreaker would pay for a mid size cruise ship. Would it be worth one million $+?
There is no set price per ship. It is all about tonnage and what the steel market prices are at the time.
@@midshipcinema yes absolutely. It's all about the timing. A ship can lay up for years and the reason for that is to wait for the best optimum price. Ships are often the largest pieces of metal on the market to scrap and so timing is everything to make it worth the price of hauling it also.
Доброго времени суток)

Why did they scrap her
Age and demand for steel are not good harbingers for old ships.
Lots of wages in the contract lots of work for locals
This is so so sad like all historical things this man made created history has disappeared for future generations to see ‼️‼️👀😔😢 #shouldhavepreservedit #historygone #moneydictates
Very few ships manage to get preserved. Thanks for watching and posting.
Watch the Channel of Mark Cabets on UA-cam he was working on the Seawise Giant/Yahre Viking/Knock Nevis lot of video's of this great,great Ship.
Great vid you made of this "Large Lady"
Yes she was a Beast a Beautiful Beast😘
Thank you, Duur. I'll have to check out those videos. :)
I've done ALL kinds of searchs for The Channel and found nothing. I'm Very interested in This magnificent Beat. Do you know if The Channel hás changed The name?
Wow, when a used Knock Nevis in The search with The Channel name It Just appeared. Thanks man.
Converted it into a hotel complex
I think i would be good at shipbreaking, I wish I owned a ship yard
Why...😭😭
Alas, it is the fate of most ships.
Nice story ❤ #shippinginbox
Thank you.
