Description
BORAG ran aground off the North coast of Taiwan in a position 25.12N/121.44E on 7 February 1977 while she was sailing from the Mena Saud oil terminal in Kuwait for Shen-ao, Taiwan. She was reportedly destined thereafter for Kaohsiung, Taiwan where she was to be cut up for scrap. In the days that followed she broke in two and both halves of the former ship were reported sunk on 15 February 1977. Information courtesy Marine News, World Ship Society
