The Nanny was a turbine tanker of the Partrederi T / T Nanny , which was put into operation in 1978. She was the widest cargo ship to date and, after the Pioneering Spirit, the widest ship ever.
The Nanny was built in 1978 by Uddevallawerft in Uddevalla , Sweden for the partrederi T / T Nanny , in which the shipping company Munkedals AB held 75% and the shipyard 25%. On April 3, 1981, Munkedals AB returned their share for 95,377,500 Swedish kronor to Uddevallawerft , which transferred the ship to Zenit Tank AB in Gothenburg that same month . In the roadstead of Fujairah , the tanker was renamed King Alexander on June 20, 1984 and handed over to the Piraeus- based company Overseas Investments & Trading SA owned by the Greek shipping company John S. Latsis . In 1998 the nanny went to Frontline AB in Stockholm , which renamed it Sea World and brought it under the Liberian flag. The new home port of Sea World, which was again transferred to Addisson Shiping & Trading in Nassau , Bahamas , was Monrovia . In 2003 the ship was sold to Chinese abandoners . It arrived in Jiangyin in April 2003 for demolition.

The nanny's hold was divided into seven central tanks and 13 side tanks each by two longitudinal bulkheads and several transverse bulkheads. Only one middle tank and two side tanks were designed as ballast water tanks. The nanny was equipped with four steam-powered cargo pumps, each with a capacity of 5,500 m³ / h, and two stripper pumps, each with a pumping capacity of 800 m³ / h. The pipe and pump system made it possible to load and unload four different types of oil without mixing. The on-board inert gas system had a capacity of 27,500 m³ / h.
