MS Olga Mærsk was a container ship belonging to the fleet of Danish shipping company A.P. Møller Mærsk. She was built in 1948 and set to sea on 18 December the same year.
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. 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. She was broken up in Kaohsiung, Taiwan in 1979.
The name of the ship originates from the mother of Emma Mc-Kinney Møller, wife of shipping magnate Mærsk Mc-Kinney Møller, the owner of A.P. Møller-Mærsk.
