Fuso
Kaiak KK was a general cargo ship built by Onomichi Zosen
in Japan, and was launched in 1966 for the company Fuso
Kaian. She changed owners and names a couple of times
before she sailed as Tung Hwang for Orient Dolphin
Corporation in Panama in 1980. Under a journey from
Kaohsiung to Brunei loaded with cement, she hit ground at
Samarang Bank 25. September 1980. She developed a leak and
sat course for Labuan but foundered and sank not long
after. The wreck which is often referred to as "The Cement
Wreck", rest today on her keel like a classic Donald Duck
wreck on a depth of 18 to 33 meter east
of Kuraman Island.
