What the evidence supports
IOMHER records five crew deaths in the grounding and twenty-nine further deaths when the cargo exploded during salvage the following morning. Its published casualty position is classified as approximate, so the map uses a broad uncertainty area and does not claim a surveyed wreck footprint, surviving material or a safe diving or salvage location.
Location and precision
Approximate area · radius 800 m. IOMHER-reported casualty position; positional accuracy is approximate and the point is not a surveyed seabed footprint.
Why this public geometry is safe: IOMHER publishes a casualty position; this map shows it only as an uncertainty area and never as a surveyed wreck footprint, navigation point or salvage target.
54.061, -4.796
