The UM-FAROUD was a 1995 oil tanker that operated between Libya and Italy, suffered technical problems and was put into dry dock in Malta. That same night, an explosion in one of its tanks caused the death of several shipyard workers. In 1998, after being assessed and considered depreciated, the tanker was scuttled near Wied Iz-Zurrieq Bay, Malta, to create an artificial reef and attract divers.
