Launched in 1979 and after thirty years of service, the Algoport was on its way to China to get a new forebody. The ship, however, never made it there.

The journey ended in the Algoport breaking in half and sinking. Pictures of the Algoport’s final journey can be found in https://www.swzonline.nl/page/39[the Algoport PowerPoint presentation on our Downloads-page].
