Zenobia
was
laid down as a Challenger RO-RO ferry by Kockums Varv in
Malmö, and was launched in August 1979 for Nordö Rederi
AB. Under
her maiden voyage to Syria loaded with vehicles and food
in June 1980, she
developed a listing in the Mediterranean and had to seek
harbor in Larnaca for repairs.
Unable to solve the mechanical problem she was later towed
out of the harbor and laid up at anchor 4. June 1980
outside Larnaca. Three days later she capsized and
disappeared in the deep east of Makenzie Beach. The wreck
of Zenobia rest today one nautical mile outside Larnaca on
a depth of 15 to 40 meter.
