Thanks to Milko Kronja for information on her fate reproduced below.
She left Rijeka for Jeddah in November 1982. ( I must check the date, but I think it was 23rd ) with cargo of timber, got a very big list and sunk outside the harbour. Her remains are still there, 24 years later.

"Elhawi star" tijekom manovre odlaska iz Sušaka, prevrnuo se i potonuo ispred lukobrana Sušak. Dogodilo se je to 12.listopada 1982. Srećom nitko nije stradao. Peljar na odlasku iz Sušaka bio je pokojni kap.Anton Gerlanc, a asistirala su dva tegljača: "Beli kamik" pod zapovjedništvom kap.Ljubiše Karabaića i "Aries" pod zapovjedništvom kap.Adimira Pavletića. Do prevrnuća i potonuća došlo je zbog lošeg rasporada tereta i gubitka stabiliteta.
