MS Olga Mærsk was a cargo ship belonging to the fleet of Danish shipping company A.P. Møller Mærsk. She was launched on 18 December 1948 and completed in July 1949.[1][2][4]

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]
