SS Sugar Transporter was a cargo ship built by Hall, Russell & Company and launched on 21 November 1957, sponsored by Mrs. Tate, wife of Mr J. F. P. Tate, a director of Silvertown Services Shipping Company Ltd. In 1966 her name was changed to Malmi under new owners from Helsinki, Finland. On 6 December 1979, Malmi capsized and sank in the Baltic Sea after her cargo of coke shifted in heavy weather during a voyage from Gdańsk, Poland, to Koverhar, 40 nautical miles (46 miles; 74 km) northeast of Gotska Sandön.[1]
