On 15 March 2012, an explosion and subsequent fire occurred on board Stolt Valor whilst she was 27 nautical miles off Jubail (Saudi Arabia). The ship was carrying a cargo of methyl tertiary butyl ether and isobutanol. One crew member killed, 24 survivors were rescued by USS John Paul Jones. The fire was eventually extinguished and cargo was removed, after some months towed to Manamah (Bahrain). However, the ship was damaged to much, repairs not economically viable and the owners have decided to scrap it.
