Super Tanker
This episode explores the engineering secrets of one the world’s newest and biggest Oil Tankers on a mission against time in the treacherous waters of the South China Sea.
The Hunter Laga stretches over 1000 feet long and can carry 300 thousand tons of crude oil across vast oceans. Blowing this floating island apart with CGI reveals a diesel engine the size of a large house, a 78-ton propeller that pushes it through the roughest of seas, and 15 enormous cargo tanks fed by thousands of feet of piping. The technological features beneath the skin of the hull make this tanker the ultimate mega machine.
