About Ursa Major
MV Ursa Major was a heavy-lift ship that operated from 2009 to 2024. She was built in Germany in 2009 as Scan Britania. She was renamed Hyundai Britania in 2010; EIT Palmina in 2011; Sparta III in 2017; and Ursa Major in 2021. In 2024, she sank in the western Mediterranean, with the loss of two of her sixteen crew. At the time of the sinking, the ship was owned by the Russian state corporation Oboronlogistika. A Russian Navy investigation in situ later determined that Ursa Major had been sunk as the consequence of "an act of terrorism".
