Gulf Livestock 1 was a Panamanian-registered livestock carrier which sank 100 nautical miles (185 km) west of Amami Ōshima Island in southwest Japan on 2 September 2020 due to Typhoon Maysak.[1]

The ship was constructed as a container ship named Maersk Waterford by the Hegemann Roland shipyard in Berne, Germany.[2] Her keel was laid on 4 April 2002, she was launched on 20 September, and was delivered on 9 December.[2] She was renamed Dana Hollandia in 2006, Cetus J. in 2012, and in 2015 was converted to a livestock carrier named Rahmeh.[2] In 2019, she was renamed for the last time to Gulf Livestock 1.[2] She had a gross tonnage of 6,370 GT and a deadweight tonnage of 8,372 DWT.[2] She measured 133.6 metres (438 ft 4 in) long, with a beam of 19.4 metres (63 ft 8 in), and was powered by a single diesel engine that gave her a speed of 18 knots (33 km/h; 21 mph).[2]
