The cargo ship MV Akra Aktion (prior name Steven) was built in 1957 in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. The cargo ship had sailed under a Greek flag and started its journey from Brăila with 3575.52 tons of steel laminate to Alexandria, Egypt. On 19 February 1981, the ship got into a storm and was stranded several hundred meters from Vama Veche beach. The water was only a few meters deep.

The crew was saved, but the ship was not salvageable. The cargo was recovered 20 years later. Now, due to the decay from rust and waves, only a small part of the wreck, including the bow, is sometimes visible over the water.^{[1] [2]}

Akra Aktion is 91.40 meters long with a maximum breadth of 12.54 meters and a draught of 6.75 meters. She has a gross weight of 2,306 tons^[3] and a maximum carrying capacity of 3,851 deadweight tonnage. She is powered by a 1,600 CP engine.^[4]
