In 1981 she was sold and her name changed to ''Star Lanao''. She was [[ship breaking|scrapped]] in India in 1986. ==Almö Bridge Disaster== She is best known for causing the [[Almö Bridge]] disaster on January 18th, 1980, when in heavy fog she drifted too far off centerline in the [[Uddevalla]] inlet. Her superstructure struck the eastern half of the bridge arch, collapsing the main span. The roadway landed on top of the ship, destroying the ship's bridge but causing no casualties onboard. 8 motorists however were killed as a result of the collapse, and from driving off the roadway into the fjord below due to heavy fog obscuring the collapsed main span from the approach ramps. ==See also== *{{MV|Lake Illawarra}} - Collided with [[Tasman Bridge]]. *{{MV|Summit Venture}} - Collided with [[Sunshine Skyway Bridge]]. *{{MV|Delta Mariner}} - Collided with [[Eggner's Ferry Bridge]]. *{{MV|Dali}} - Collided with [[Francis Scott Key Bridge (Baltimore)|Francis Scott Key Bridge]]. *[[List of bridge disasters]] ==References== {{reflist|refs= <ref name=msi>{{cite web|url=http://www.miramarshipindex.org.nz/ |title=Miramar Ship Index |work=Miramar Ship Index website |publisher=R B Haworth |accessdate=1 February 2012}}</ref> }} {{1980 shipwrecks}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Star Clipper}} [[Category:Merchant ships of Norway]] [[Category:Maritime incidents in 1980]] [[Category:Maritime incidents in Sweden]] [[Category:Ships built in Malmö]] [[Category:1968 ships]]'
