I always remember this giant when she arrived at Singapore Keppel Shipyard for her major repair before renmed as Jahre Viking. She got a giant hole on her Port side, big enough for a ship of frigate size to sail thru !

Thanks for sharing.

She could also navigate the Suez Canal, although not fully laden. Here is a video of her in ballast in the Suez Canal: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-BZD5cNDyNc

Here's another interesting picture of her that I posted a few years back: http://www.shipspotting.com/gallery/photo.php?lid=363178
