The Enrica Lexie was built in 2008. She was originally owned by Naples-based Dolphin Tankers whose parent company is Fratelli d'Amato.[1][2]

On 15 February 2012, the Enrica Lexia was involved in the shooting of two fisherman in the Laccadive Sea off the Indian coast.[3] The tanker was taken to the port of Kochi on 17 February 2012 under escort by the Indian Coast Guard.[4] The ship was allowed to leave 80 days later, on 6 May 2012 after the owners posted a surety bond.[5]

In 2013, she was renamed as Olympic Sky and registered under a Greek flag; vessel management was transferred to Olympic Shipping & Management SA.[1][6] AIS plots show the tanker operating in the Indian Ocean region.[7][8]

In 2015, the tanker was registered again in the Marshall Islands.[9][10]
