Shoya
Maru was laid down at Kuryshima Dock & Company K.K in
Japan, and was launched in 1969 for the Japanese company
Yamato Kisen. She was sold in 1975 to Greek owners and
renamed Markos. Five years later she again changed hands,
and was renamed to Giannis D and operated by the company
Dumarc Shiiping in Piraeus. Under a journey from Rijeka to
Hodeida loaded with wood, she hit ground after a
navigational error at Sha’ab
Abu Nuhas 19. April 1978. Firmly stuck on the reef, the
crew abandoned ship. She was stuck on the reef for
several weeks before she broke in two parts and sank. The
remains of her rest today on a depth of approximately 10
to 28 meter northwest of Sha’ab
Abu Nuhas.
