3 unusual facts about MT Haven


MT Haven

MT Haven, formerly Amoco Milford Haven, was a VLCC (very large crude carrier), leased to Troodos Shipping (a company run by Lucas Haji-Ioannou and his son Stelios Haji-Ioannou).

On 14 April, the 250m-long main body sank a mile and a half from the coast, between Arenzano and Varazze.

According to news items it is also alleged that the tanker was scrapped after being hit by an Exocet missile during the Iran–Iraq War and should not have been put back into operation.
