On 06/10/1969 whilst on a ballast voyage from Mukaishima, Japan to Dumai, Indonesia she exploded, caught fire and sank; sadly with the loss of 4 crewmen.
Thanks again for psoting the video!

In June 1965 she was sold (before making a single voyage) to the large shipping company "Salén Rederi AB", Stockholm, Sweden.
She was towed to Kockums Shipyard, Malmö, Sweden and equipped / completed to the new owners specifications; and was delivered on 30/12/1965 to Salén Rederi AB, with her new name "SEVEN SKIES".

Hi , yes a very nice video and I wasn't expecting ever to 'see' this vessel again after so many years since she sank.
May I just correct a few details about the ship?
The ship was three years old when she sank, and therefore not on her maiden voyage.
She was a crude oil tanker, not a 'cargo ship', launched on 18/04/1965 by Odense Staalskibsvaerft, Odense, Denmark as the "Malmoil" for the Swedish company "Rederi Ab Malmoil", Malmö, who had ordered her as a speculative interest.

I believe you should improve your buoyancy and stop bubbling infront of the lens, this sucks (again) !
Nice video!
