With the ambition to turn the mammoth 755-foot ore carrier, Berge Stahl, into an even more colossal vessel capable of transporting greater cargo, engineers embarked on an extraordinary feat of maritime engineering. They meticulously sliced the ship into two halves, creating a 104-foot gap. This audacious move paved the way for the insertion of a new mid-section, ultimately stretching the vessel to an astounding 859 feet, significantly increasing its carrying capacity. This remarkable transformation ranked among the most impressive ship expansions in history.
