Description
She was abandoned by her crew around 290 miles southeast of Madagascar on 27 February 2007 after suffering main engine failure in heavy weather. At the time she was on a voyage from Thailand for Dakar, Senegal with a cargo of rice. Her crew was subsequently rescued by EVER GAINING (IMO 8511768). On 7 March 2007 the ship was still reported adrift and abandoned with a 20+ degree port list. Ref: Marine News Vol. 61, No.5 May 2007

Her final disposition is unknown though it seems likely she would've eventually capsized and sank..
