Perim Island

SHIPWRECKS 1898

​

In August 2004 a 38,000 ton Iranian container ship, the Ardebil launched only that year, ran aground on Perim. After her cargo of containers had been unloaded by a crane barge onto barges she was pulled off by tugs and subsequently taken to the dry dock at Dubai for repairs. 

Only shipping sailing towards Suez pass close to Perim and pending more precise information it is likely that the ship went (seriously) aground somewhere on the southeast corner.
