M/S Olga Mærsk was a container ship belonging to the fleet of Danish shipping company A.P. Møller Mærsk. She was built in 1948 and set to sea on 18 December the same year.[1][2]
In the following year, she was handed over to Mærsk and was part of its fleet until 1968. She was then acquired by Mermaid Maritime and renamed Valentine.[2] She was subsequently acquired first by Liberty SS Co Ltd as North Sea in 1974 and finally as Man Mang for Man Ming Maritime Ltd in 1975.[2] She was broken up in Kaohsiung, Taiwan in 1979.[2][3]
The name of the ship originates from the mother of Emma Mc-Kinney Møller, wife of shipping magnate Mærsk Mc-Kinney Møller, the owner of A.P. Møller-Mærsk.
