At the time, the ship was commissioned by Ferons Ltd.Akebono Maru was also the name of a Japanese oil tanker damaged on 3 June 1942, during the Battle of Midway and sunk in shallow water on 30 March 1944 off Ngeruktabel, Palau. She was re-floated in 1957, but sank under tow during a storm.MS ''Akebono Maru''
