The HistoryThe History

A ‘General Cargo Vessel’ of 3,720 tonnes, the ship was built in the German Baltic port of Lubeck by Orenstein, Koppel and Lübecker

launched in 1954 as the Dora Oldendorf. In 1970 new owners re-christened her the Anna B and in 1979 the Clarion Marine Company of Piraeus, purchased the ship and renamed her Chrisoula K.

With Jeddah another 600 miles further south, Captain Kanellis retired to his cabin for some well earned rest. He had not been asleep very long when he was very rudely awoken by an event that would signal the end of both his career and his ship. With the engines set at "Full Speed" the Chrisoula K had driven hard onto the north east corner of Sha’ab Abu Nuhas Reef. The date was 31st August 1981.
