In the mid-1990s, the "Rokko San" — along with several other vessels belonging to the shipping company Adriatic Tankers — became involved in a serious incident in which the ships were left abandoned at anchor in Varna, Bulgaria. The crew were left without supplies or wages for an extended period, until June 1996, when they finally received a portion of their outstanding pay and were assisted in returning home.
