Anis Rose
On 30 January 1996, during its journey from Durres (Albania) to Sète (France), the cargo of 2,703 tonnes of chromium ore onboard the Syrian vessel Anis Rose shifted transversally. The movement made the ship capsize and sink north-east off Sardinia (Italy).
During salvage operations, 8 crew members were saved but 2 died and 1 went missing.
