Thank you very much for the information. Do you know of any sites I could find pictures of her when she was still tagged “Akranes” and what her current name is with pictures?

There are pictures of her as "Eltem" and as "Villach" at http://www.shipspotting.com/search.php? ... on=results. Just put the ship's IMO number ' 7009988 ' in the "ship photo search" box.

Looking for information about the MV Akranes. She was a bulk carrier that grounded in the seaway near Clayton in the mid 80’s she was lighted, patched and refloated. I did a search on here back in December of 2003 and had a response but have lost the information. I recall she was renamed. Any information will be great, thanks
