  • Ex-Mimosa sold for scrap
    NORWAY'S Bona Shipholding has sold for demolition its giant oil tanker Guardian which was at the centre of a major pollution alert four years ago, writes Emily Redding. Pakistani breakers have purchased the 357,649 dwt ultra large crude carrier, built in 1977, for $121 per ldt or $5.1m. Pictured above under her previous name, Mimosa, the ship hit the headlines when a crack appeared 10 m below the waterline while fully laden with crude off Shetland in January 1995. Fortunately the cargo tanks remained intact and the crude was transferred safely. The gaping hole on her port side which measured 80ft by 20ft and the 45 ft by 15ft gash on her starboard side were thought to have been caused by a collision with a submerged object. However a Norwegian court later judged that steel weakness was the probable cause of the cracks. Operated at the time by Peter Smedvig, the vessel underwent $3m repairs to replace some 350 tonnes of steel at Lisnave in Portugal two months later. Since March 1996, the tanker has been used as a storage vessel at the Al Shareen terminal, Qatar.
