Reasons for the sinking of Ocean Giant:
1, 198 1, The Sea Giant was finally launched, and its main task was to transport crude oil in the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean. The ongoing Iran-Iraq war at that time seriously affected the oil production and transportation in the Persian Gulf region, because Iraq announced that any ship carrying crude oil produced by Iran (or other Arab countries) would be the target of Iraq's attack.
The sea giant still ventured into the Persian Gulf for transportation, which eventually led to misfortune. 1988 On May 4th, while sailing through the Strait of Hormuz, it was severely damaged by Iraqi warplanes with French-made flying fish anti-ship missiles and sank in the shallow sea near Kharg Island, Iran.
Reconstruction of ocean giants:
1 and 1989, Ocean Giant was resold to Norwegian Norman International Shipping Company for 35 million dollars. After salvaging, the ship was towed to Keppel Shipyard in Singapore, and large-scale repair work was carried out from 1990 to 10. This repair used 3200 tons of steel raw materials, and the replaced pipeline was 32 kilometers long. After the largest ship repair project in the world, the ship was renamed the Happy Giant and returned.
