How a 300,000-Ton Oil Tanker Carrying 2 Million Barrels Is Built. Giant Ship Engineering Documentary
How is a 300,000-ton oil tanker built with millimeter precision? This industrial documentary follows the complete construction of a 330-meter very large crude carrier, from steel plate storage, shot blasting, CNC plasma cutting, bending, robotic welding, and giant block assembly to engine installation, propeller casting, anti-corrosion coating, launch, and sea trials. You will also see how a VLCC moves nearly 2 million barrels of crude oil, how its cargo pumps, ballast water treatment, rudder, shaft, and marine diesel engine work, and what happens during major dry-dock repairs after years at sea. Explore the shipyard machines, engineering systems, inspection methods, maintenance, and human skill required to keep one of the world’s largest ships operating safely for decades.
