About Maassluis
MV Maassluis was a chemical tanker owned by the Dutch shipping-company Nedlloyd. On 15 February 1989 the ship was lost in heavy weather near the port of Skikda, Algeria. Two sailors, who were swept overboard when they tried to work on the anchor, survived the incident. The other 27 crew were killed. For his actions in trying to rescue the ship and crew, first officer Peter Korsen was posthumously promoted to captain. The shipwreck was the single most serious shipping disaster for a Dutch-flagged vessel since the Second World War.
