== History ==
''Seawise Giant'' was ordered in 1974 and delivered in 1979 by [[Sumitomo Heavy Industries|Sumitomo Heavy Industries, Ltd.]] (S.H.I.) at her Oppama shipyard in [[Yokosuka]], [[Kanagawa Prefecture|Kanagawa]], Japan, as a 418,611-ton Ultra Large Crude Carrier (ULCC).<ref>{{Cite book |title=Tanker Register 1987 |last=Clarkson Research Studies Ltd. |year=1987 |publisher=International Publication Service |isbn=0-8002-4143-6}}</ref> The vessel remained unnamed for a long time, and was identified by her hull number, 1016. During sea trials, 1016 exhibited severe vibration problems while going astern. The Greek owner refused to take delivery and the vessel was subject to a lengthy arbitration proceeding. Following settlement the vessel was sold and named ''Oppama'' by S.H.I.<ref name="singh" />

The shipyard exercised its right to sell the vessel and a deal was brokered with Hong Kong [[OOCL|Orient Overseas Container Line]] founder [[Tung Chao-yung|C. Y. Tung]] to lengthen the ship by several metres and add 146,152 tonnes of cargo capacity through [[jumboisation]].

It had 46 tanks, and {{Convert|31541|m2|abbr=on}} of deck space.

== History ==
''Seawise Giant'' was ordered in 1974 and delivered in 1979 by [[Sumitomo Heavy Industries|Sumitomo Heavy Industries, Ltd.]] (S.H.I.) at her Oppama shipyard in [[Yokosuka]], [[Kanagawa Prefecture|Kanagawa]], Japan, as a 418,611-ton Ultra Large Crude Carrier (ULCC).<ref>{{Cite book |title=Tanker Register 1987 |last=Clarkson Research Studies Ltd. |year=1987 |publisher=International Publication Service |isbn=0-8002-4143-6}}</ref> The vessel remained unnamed for a long time, and was identified by her hull number, 1016. During sea trials, 1016 exhibited severe vibration problems while going astern. The Greek owner refused to take delivery and the vessel was subject to a lengthy arbitration proceeding. Following settlement the vessel was sold and named ''Oppama'' by S.H.I.<ref name="singh" />

The shipyard exercised its right to sell the vessel and a deal was brokered with Hong Kong [[OOCL|Orient Overseas Container Line]] founder [[Tung Chao-yung|C. Y. Tung]] to lengthen the ship by several metres and add 146,152 tonnes of cargo capacity through [[jumboisation]]. Two years later the ship was relaunched as ''Seawise Giant''.<ref name="singh" /><ref>{{Cite news |author=Sandra Burton |date=1996-12-23 |title=Beijing's Capitalist |work=Time Magazine |url=http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,985727,00.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071214014859/http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,985727,00.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=14 December 2007 |access-date=2010-06-04}}</ref> "Seawise", a pun on "C.Y.'s", was used in the names of other ships owned by C.Y.

After the refit, the ship had a capacity of {{DWT|564,763|metric|disp=long}}, a [[length overall]] of {{Convert|458.45|m|abbr=on}} and a draft of {{Convert|24.611|m|abbr=on}}. It had 46 tanks, and {{Convert|31541|m2|abbr=on}} of deck space.
