Keoyoung Sun (Korean거영 선) was a South Korean tanker built in 1996 that sunk in 2024.

General career

Built in June 1996 as a chemical and oil tanker, she was originally named Sanno Maru for Japanese owners. Later, she was sold to Keoyoung Shipping Company, and being renamed Keoyoung Yun in March 2005.[1] She maintained this name for the longest throughout her career, but was renamed to Nan Liam 11 in 2018.[1] was quickly renamed to Keoyoung Sun, which she would have for the remainder of her career.

The vessel was measured at 870 gross tonnage (GT), with an overall length of 68.82 metres (225 ft 9 in), a length between perpendiculars of 64.0 m (210 ft 0 in) and a beam of 10.82 m (35 ft 6 in). She had ten chemical tanks on board, and a liquid cargo capacity of 1,357.

She was powered by a single diesel engine, built by Akasaka. The engine was rated as producing a power of 1,177 kW (1,578 hp).[2] This turned her single fixed-pitch propeller and gave a top speed of 12.3 knots (22.8 km/h; 14.2 mph).

Sinking

Keoyoung Sun departed on March 18,[3] and was bound for Busan New Port. She was due to arrive on March 20.[4]

At 7:00AM local time on March 20 (10PM GMT March 19), the Keoyoung Sun's crew had sent a distress signal, after the ship was in trouble during a storm. Soon after, the ship capsized and the rescue operations are currently ongoing. It is currently believed that 8 of the 11 on board have lost their lives.[5]
