M.V. OURANIOTOXO in Bute Dry Dock, Cardiff.
M.V. OURANIOTOXO was built in 1950 as M.V. PORTSMOUTH (1805gt), and renamed SANADREAS in 1971. In 1975, the vessel was sold to Hereon Navigation Co', of Limassol and renamed OURANIOTOXO. In 1976 the vessel was sold to Nebraska Enterprises Co. Ltd, of Piraeus with no change of name. In 1979, the vessel was in Bute Drydock, Cardiff for over a year, being repaired. She apparently capsized in drydock and due to the damage caused, the vessel arrived at the Cardiff ship breaking facilities of Bristol Channel Ship Repairers Ltd. on 27 October 1980 to be broken up.
